    Air filter cover removal
    2002 honda civic air filter cover issue. Plastic housing of air filter box is damaged. The screws that secure the cover to the box spin, but won't come loose.

    Air filter boxes are very tough--I doubt that any real damage has taken place. I use an 8mm nutdriver to remove the screws, which need to be undone a good number of turns to allow the cover to come off. If necessary, spray the machine screws with WD-40 and slightly lift the cover, while you unfasten each machine screw. Play around with it and I'm sure you can get it off.

    Afterwards, wipe down the inside of the air box with a damp cloth (water only), allow to dry, and install the air filter.

OK to run filter with cover on? [ 1 Answers ]

Hi. I have an above ground pool and will be going away for a week. I would like to cover the pool while I'm away and was wondering if it would be safe to run the filter while the cover is on. If so. How many hours per day? (The filter is on a timer.) Thank you.
