Default Filter Change on Injen CAI- Do I have to remove the drivers side wheel ?

Hi guys.

Kids Scion tc has one of those CAI injens.

The filter is down low by the front end by the tire.

Do I have to pull the DS wheel to chnage the filter?

Thank you.

Have you tried turning the wheel all the way left? Just need room to move the fenderliner plastics enough to pull the filter out.

No I haven't yet tried that.

Thank you Dropzone!

I hope I don't have to remove the bumper and wheel to chnage the filter

it's just a wheel man. use the tire jack on a flat surface and use the tire wrench and just take it off.

Don't need to remove the bumper, just the clips/tabs on the fenderliner across the top and frontmost of the fender(along the arch) and screws, bolts, and tabs that attach to the bottom and arch of the bumper. Might be a couple if clips/tabs in the fender that will let you move the liner out the way more also.

You don't need to remove wheel or bumper , but every time I have done it on customers cars I take the bumper only off it's easy
