Question Air Filter Replacement

OK, I give up. HOw do I remove the plastic housing so I can replace the air filter? I removed the phillips screws at the back edge, and the front edge seems to have tabs into slots, but I cannot get the top of the housing off! There is a tube-like device, which I also removed the phillips screw holding it, but the top still will not budge. There is a large tube to the left (facing the air cleaner housing) held in place by a large spring clamp which I have no idea how to remove, but removal seems essential. Compression of the clamp does nothing to assist me in removing the clamp or looosening the large tube.

I just had my 10,000 serice thinking the dealer would replace the filter, but alas that is not recommended nor was it done.

Suggestions or advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe
