Air Filter Box

[mike02]

I'm getting up years but still like to do most of the maintenance on my truck but I have run into an issue my arthritic hands cannot muster the strength get the clamps back up on the air filter lid. Anybody else having this same problem? Did you come up with a solution?

Spray the hoses and box with WD40 or Silicone lube and they usully slide on easier

i think hes talking about the 4 clips on box that hold the top cover

i would propose a long flat head screwdriver. i remember my 06 hemi was a britch to get the top cliped back on. i always had to use a screwdriver to avoid ripping my fingers off haha
also inspect the gasket of the filter. ive seen alot of aftermarket filters with too thick of a gasket and that will cause alot of problems trying to clip the top. you can trim it with an xacto if needed.

Channel Locs or small Crescent wrench

Good catch HH,for some reason i thought he was referring to the hoses,never even crossed my mind he was referancing the clips.
Thank-you for catching my mistake.
