Un-screw the plastic anchors as far as you can then yank the box out. Press it back in then screw it back down to reinstall.

Yep, the plastic screws are not meant to come out. They stay in place after you get them to spin freely. IIRC, there may be another screw you can take off near the rear left of the box(facing the D). After you get all screws undone, a good yank and the box will come off. And like gzuz suggested, use gloves if you're so inclined.

why not use vise grips to hold onto the stud?? are you reinstalling the filter box?? or are you upgrading?? either way the stud is toast so you might as well cut it out or something of the short..

Just pull out and loosen what you can then feel your oats and yank that thing already.

Really, I thought at least the airbox would be the same...
