How do I change the air fliter on my 2004 freestar ? I have flipped the clips holding the filter box but unit is extremely tight. Have I missed something ?

you may have to lift duct work up a little to get to air filter Item 7: Air Cleaner Cover Removal Note

Release the clamps and separate the air cleaner cover from the air cleaner tray.
