Hey guys welcome back to How to Escape. This is Rahrena here. Thanks for joining
us on our last video on removing the weather stripping and put in the roof
rail. Now today's going to be a how-to and installing your engine air filter.
Basic maintenance item, and it's not too hard. I'm going to use an 8mm
socket and a Phillips head screwdriver. Let's get started.
alright so we have the hood open and we're looking at the air box which is
this item right here. Your air filter is the circular face right here. Now to
remove the cover of the airbox you're going to need to take off a
phillips-head screw right here and then 1 and 2 retaining screws down here- it's kinda hard to see... and
then 3 eight millimeter retaining screws.
We've removed the 8 millimeters retaining screws and now we're going to go with our philips head driver here.
Now that we've lifted off the cover,
we now have our old engine air filter visible. We're going to lift it out.
when looking back over the old air filter that I'm taking out, I want you take
note of this little notch here that's on this face. When installing the air filter
your replacement filter has this notch you want that notch to go work right
down here in this little cut away so not all of them have it this is typically
the ford motorcraft recommended air filters or the name-brand drop-in
replacements
I have a micro guard filter from o'reilly auto parts- It's still a very good
filter- not too fancy but it doesn't have that notch so i can pretty much put this
one in any orientation that I want
alright so now we're going to install the microcard filter. You want this
rubber gasket here to go around the air intake and under this lip right here and
you want this rim on the filter to slide into this slot that goes all the way
around here
right well now that we have the new filter in going to put the lid back on the airbox.
We're gonna line it up
Now that we have everything properly aligned,
we're going to put our screws back in. I left the screw in this back one here because
it is hard to get to and so I left it in the slot. So we're going to go use the 8 millimeter socket
Make sure not to over tighten them. That's it for our 8 millimeter screws. Now we just have our Phillips left...
So there you have it- it's not a very complicated process. The trickiest part is to get the
rim on that filter lined up and again if you have that notch similar to my old filter here-
Make sure that it's oriented at the base of the air box where that little cutaway is and
then that the base of the air box and the lid fit around the rim of this end of the air
filter
yeah thank you guys very much for watching
join us next time we're going to be taking apart the back hatch and running wires all the way up
to the front. I'm going to show you have to wire a backup camera into your
MyFord Touch head unit.
Thanks a lot for watching How To Escape- have a good night!
