DIY Cabin Filter Replacement - Honda Pilot

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 03:50 PM

Because this is so easy and I want people to avoid getting ripped off I am going to do a quick Cabin filter replacement thread.

Tools

8mm socket 1/4 drive
ratchet 1/4 drive
2 inch extention 1/4 drive
philips screw driver #2
utility knife, exacto knife or exacto hobby saw
or air wheel
flat head screw driver

pull the door sill up and off with your hand or use a flat screw driver to pry it up or a butter knife.

next remove this plastis screw by twisting with your fijngers, sometimes while you pry up on it a little with a butter knife.

next pull the wheather stripping away, and then pull the kick panel off and put to the side out of the way.

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 03:56 PM

remove the 2 bottom screws holding the glove box on.

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 03:58 PM

open the glove box, it will come out easy.

this is what it should look like except the plastic is already cut out.

cut through the plastic at the pre cut line. use the knives or saw. I use an air wheel being very careful of the wires and the metal support.

What timing! I just ordered the cabin filter on ebay for $20. Should arrive in the next couple of days. The dealer wanted $115 installed.

ok Im off work so now I can continue

remove the screw shown, and the 8mm bolt.

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 07:31 PM

and the screw shown here

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 07:34 PM

pull back the plastic from the center console to reveal the last 8mm bolt. Remove this and the metal support will come off easy.

Dont worry you wont break the console its real flexible.

The wires wrapped in yellow tape are for the air bags you want to be careful not to damage them.

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 07:35 PM

the metal support comes right off

hondaman2 · 08-03-2004, 07:37 PM

pull the bottom part of the cabin filter cover towards you and then lift up
