air box refers to the box that contains the air cleaner for the engine

This is going to sound stupid, but on this particular car, with this particular engine, the air filter is NOT SERVICEABLE. Any attempt to remove air filter for service WILL result in needing to replace the entire airbox assembly at a cost of $297.56US through fordparts.com. Apparently these filters are NOT to be serviced before 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) as per Ford Motor Company. Again, this is only on Focuses equipped with the 2.3L Duratec engine, not the 2.0L SPI engine, or the the 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine.

Fordgirl is absolutely right on this. & Yes it DOES sound stupid...(te he)
But here is documentation to back her statements up:
see the #1 footnote on page 209 of this (free, downloadable) copy of your owners manual for 2004 Ford Focus:

note:
please take advantage of saving the owners manual to your computer for future reference.....but when choosing the 'Best Answer', that really should go to Fordgirl.

There should be some metal rivets that surround the box. Unfold them and then take out the air filter. Put the new one in, and fasten the metal rivets back.

It should just have a few clips that hold on, you just push them off. Or it might have some screws.
