Good afternoon. My username is tim.s, I'm a long time owner...first time pollen filter changer.

This really is a pretty simple job. The first time is more difficult, because you have to remove the plastic crossbar. But even that only took a couple minutes.

Nice job on the photo-instructions Armystrong, I refered to these before I started and there were no surprises. I give this thread

The only thing I did different was that I used a pair of side cutters to cut out the plastic crossbar. Once I saw the size of the pre-perforations in the plastic, I realized I could use the side cutters and avoid having plastic bits scattered from the saw.

My old filter was pretty much dirty grey like everyone else. And I got the new filter shipped in from Hondacuraworld.

I examined the HVAC while I was in there and snapped some photos of the main fan, recirc baffle, etc... for future reference.
