the black box that sits on top of the throttle body...that is where air filter resides in...u need a 10mm ratchet preferably...loosen all the bolts around that box....please note that these bolts don't come out they just pull up a little bit...once they are all loose, pull off the top cover and BAM! there sits the filter...replace, and don't overtighten the bolts when u put the cover back on...I hope this stays true wit the 05' civic....they should..let me know!
The owners manual gives a good description of how to accomplish this.... if its like my 01 LX (it probably is), there are a bunch of screws that you need to unscrew (they stay in the airbox lid so you dont lose them, a good thing).
Also, you can use a 10mm with on a drill (I do) and it speeds things up... hehe, speed and an auto LX...
