Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before starting, make sure you have the following tools ready:

• Eight millimeter socket or screwdriver
• A container to hold screws
• K&N E-2993 air filter

Step 2: Remove the Battery Cover

Step 4: Remove the Air Filter

• Once the screws are out, gently pull up on the air filter housing to access the air filter.
• You may need to twist the housing slightly while pulling upward to detach it completely.
• After detaching, take out the old air filter and set it aside.

Step 5: Install the K&N Air Filter

• Take your new K&N air filter (E-2993) and position it in the air filter housing.
• Ensure it fits snugly and securely.
• Reattach the air filter housing by aligning it properly and pushing it back into place.

Step 6: Reassemble the Components
