What a pain in the a$$. Changed mine last night. Dealer says they can do it in 2 hours. It took me about 5. Still not sure I could do it in 2 after this experience. Like others, I went to K&N so I don't have to do it again for a while. On a side note, the Mustang seat is much easier to put back on than it was the first time. What the hell was Honda thinking?
