Default Air Filter Replacement

This is my first post in this forum and I hope someone wil be able to help this novice. My first Corvette, White 93 Coupe, and I want to change the air filter but can`t seem to find an easy way to do this. I know it can`t be as hard as it seems, but what is the best way.
I unscrewed and removed the three ***** but unable to lift the cover up high enough to get the old filter out. I don`t have an owners manual so any advise would be a blessing.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum :cheers:

If you pull the three thumb screws completely out and remove the duct/clamp, the whole airbox should lift right out. The lid just sort of hinges off from there.

Since you're going to replace the air filter, replace it with a K&N.

btw, a big WELCOME :seeya

The middle screw attaches the box to the car so remove that one and the ducting and you can lift the box off and place it onto a front tire where it is easy to continue.
