Part of the video was upside down for some reason lol, but let me know if I missed anything

Thanks for this video. I highly recommend the proper tool is used for the upper right bolt. I have a 2017 Ford Focus, and with the tiny engine, there's just no way to fit and turn a wrench/plyers into that final bolt. Use the right size and extended socket tool, for your own sanity.

Thanks - your video showed me exactly what I needed to know. I hear you about how air filters have changed back in the day. :)

This is a really great video! It took quite a bit of pushing and shoving but I got it all lined up right. I changed mine at 33,000 miles and that filter was pretty cruddy.

Thank you. A very useful video showing how the average person - me - can do the job.

I wish I could like this twice just for opening the good with one hand. 🙌

I finally found a somewhat easier way to doing it. Take the housing out of position and you’ve got enough room to work. Then easier to push into its tab and the screws line up perfectly. Then shove entire thing back into place. Tada dang toughest filter I ever had to replace. Whew 😥

Thank you brodi this is a perfect video

The A holes who put my filter couldn’t do it properly so there was dirt all over the filter since they left it half open. Thanks for the video I was able to do it myself.

Love a man who's good with his hands 😆💯

I think the next time we replace it we need to push against the left part not the right side . I did it the other way and it was way too much trouble. I think hope it'll be much easier .

Just changed mine out ( 2016 Focus SE 2.0 L L4 ) and found out the new ones I tried are a lil bigger than orignal one and so much harder to put it in .I tried supertech , fram and even Motorcraft and they all a lil longer . Anyone else had a problem putting in new one ?

Thanks Buddy. 👍

Thank you!

How did you get the cover off? Only thing I couldn't figure out..

Are all four bolts supposed to be the same size? Mine are and the two on the right aren't long enough to screw into anything.

Can you tell .we abouts the emissions.ission filter where it is

I literally can’t get the cover back om

This was your chance to buy new tools. My OEM Ford filter just won't fit. I had to really jam it in and the upper cover wouldn't line up. Then I lost a screw when it fell into the splash pan. I ordered new screws and I'll have to try again. Same issue with my 2014. New filters won't fit. The dealership service charges $80 for a filter change. The cabin filter was a 10 minute breeze.

How often should it be changed?

8mm screw

hey i have a question rq if i leave the top cover off is it bad?

🤣😂😂Get yourself a cheap metric/standard ratchet set with extensions and a metric/standard nut driver set!

extensions my friend..

Didnt have the extender, just a tiny handle 8mm and of course it slipped and is down in there somewhere. Terrible placement on that last screw!

Does changing the air filter make your car run better or accelerate better?

Sockets maybe?😂😂😂 Those are needle nosed pliers initially, but they soon turn into a wrench. 😂😂😂 Look, I’m all for aspiring mechanics trying to save a few dollars and doing a few basic automotive things on their own, like tire pressure, checking oil, wiper blade, and light bulb replacement. You my good friend are taking a very big chance at stripping your bolts by NOT having on hand a proper BASIC automotive maintenance tool set on your car. Amazon sells them cheaply, or maybe your spouse or family member can get you one for Xmas. You seem like a go -getter and a great guy! But also remember, even the correct toll can be dangerous in an unskilled mechanic’s hands.

Try vacuuming your floor first.
