lincolnold Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 How do I take the air cleaner apart and remove and replace the filter element? It appears to be press-fitted together. Please advise, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry butcher Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Find a large plastic bucket, perhaps a drywall "mud bucket"( drywall compound). Place the air cleaner canister in the bucket. Fill the bucket with #1 Kerosene . Cover over the top of the canister. Leave for a week, remove ,drain for a week Repaint if needed, Re-oil the fiber mesh , fill the lower section up to line with #30 motor oil. Install back on car.--- Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
