Default Air Filter Question

hi
Okay stupid question is does anybody know how to get TO the dang Air filter to change it out? I've looked all over and this may seem stupid but I can't see how to open up the air filter cover to change out the K&N one I've got to try out. Any thoughts/tips from the DIY out there? (On my previous cars it was easy...just a few clips and bang switch it out..the 997 seems like I need to do surgery on it to change it out!)

Somewhere in www.renntech.org you can find instructions with pictures. If I remember correctly, you have to undo the hose that goes into the throttle body and then the whole assembly lifts straight up. Once it's out you then have to undo 7 or so screws, replace the filter and reverse the process.
