Question:

I have a 1999 Accord LX 4 cyl and wonder where the air conditioner filter is that apparently filters air coming in to the car (mine seems OK up to now, 45k).  Most basic repair manuals don’t show how to replace it.  Can a home repair mechanic do this or should it be done by a certified mechanic?  Where actually is the filter?  Thanks.

There are two identical filters, and they’re behind the glove box right next to the core.  Take the right side fuse panel (clips) and the passenger kick panel (3 screws and clips) off, take the glove box out (8 screws, 3 or maybe 4 clips, and the harness from the glove box light), take the dash cross member off (2 screws and a bolt), and remove the cover for the filters (m/f at one end, clip at the other).  Discard the old filters from the frames, insert the new filters, and put the frames back.  Reverse to re-assemble.  It took me about 45 minutes start to finish. And I don’t know where you are, but I wouldn’t do this unless it was at least 50 degrees or so. —

You wouldn’t know a site that had the instructions for a 95 Accord do you?
