Instructions from Honda repair manual.
My comment is: The fellow who wrote the manual did this on a car that no motor had been installed in.

Do your best, and good luck to you. The arthritis in my hands wouldn't let me do it.

Answer 2

there is no trick...it's virtually impossible to change.It is so hard that some Honda dealers in the mid 90's told their customers that it was a lifetime filter...no joke!!You might be able to get on it with a special socket called a "crow's foot" but even with that it's a real *****
