Yep those clips can be pesky. See if the new filter comes with new clips becasue sometimes they can break as you take them out. You will need to raise the car up safely before you begin.

Here is a guide that will give you an idea on what you are in for when doing the job.

Here are some diagrams on what it is on your car (below)

Have a fluid catch bucket ready because a little gas will come out.

Please let us know what happens and upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
