Where are they, and what do I need to do to access them? Thanks!

The installation is fairly straight forward except it could be a PITA if you have big hands. Good Luck!

Very true! I have changed mine for the K&N, and it took a few minutes.

With a great amount of difficulty and swearing. You'll need a 7mm 1/4" drive deep socket and a thumb ratchet.

The filters are K&N P/N 33-2547, to get you around the ludicrous practice JAE et al have of cutting the numbers off the boxes.

You can order them from K&N directly here for considerably less cost.
