Default Air Filter Replacment C6

Hello All,
New Corvette owner. 2010 Grand Sport. I have read all post's on air filter replacement and spent hours on “How To”. Online search. Not much out there YouTube has a video on Cabin Air filter, but thats straight forward.
If anyone can provide more details, it would be great! 1-How to remove the locking clip on bottom of sensor? 2 How does the hose on the right-side of intake unplug? 3- I’ve seen after the first 2 things are done you “just pull” up on intake and the rubber grommets will release? Then on reinstall you just press back on.one more Quiestion what is the Torx size of screws that hold in stock filter? Anything more then this job I will take it to the Pro's Thanks for the help Robert

The stock Donaldson powercore filter is good for about 50,000 miles. Since you are new to this, maybe you weren't aware of the technology that makes that possible. Of course, if you already have that mileage on your car, then it's probably ready to change.
