Default 2008 LS3 Air Filter

I have a 2008 LS3 and want to check the air filter.
How do I get the darn thing out without removing the entire assembly?
I searched the forum and saw pictures, but the picture was not the same as mine. The owners manual is of no help either.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Remove the assembly unless you have REALLY small hands and are double jointed!

Along the same line, K&N dose not show a replacement for the LS3, however, they have one for the 06~08 Z06. My question is will the K&N Z06 filter fit the 08/09 LS3.

Yep, you will need to remove the entire assembly.

K&N says no, they also say they are working on a replacement filter element for the LS3 and put my EMail addy on a list so they can notify me when it's available.

That one is not a replacement filter element, but rather an entire CAI set-up...Will fit both the LS3 and Zo6 as thay use the same MAF set-up..

It's NOT a CAI, just a filter and snorkle change, K&N rightfully doesn't call it a CAI since it has no provision for fresh air.
