I can’t seem to be able to remove the air filter box cover on my 3 liter V-6.  
I can loosen the 4 screws,but can’t swing the cover away so as to remove the filter.

What am i missing?  
Thanks

The screws may be longer than you think. Try unscrewing them farther.

The cover has a 3-4 inch flexible snorkel that connects to the F.I. injection.

The problem is that i can’t get enough snorkel movement without disconnecting 3 emission lines on the snorkel.

**_Is A 2006 Accord Similar ?_**

This thing doesn’t say whether it’s a four cylinder or six cylinder engine. Does this make any sense to you or isn’t it correct ?
