    Default stupid air filter question

    Good morning everyone. I'm installing a new K&N air filter from LaMonster and it doesn't want to go in all the way. I know it's a snug fit but does it have to be turned a certain way or just shove it in. Already did the oil change and next is the fuel filter change which I should have done when I did the oil change but I didn't have it when I did the oil change. Chilly here in Chicagoland today. Thanks, Mike

    Default No stupid questions....

    Not familiar with your model but I do know on mine there is a certain way and if it sits to high and will not close flip the filter over and it should drop in. If it is to tight you may have to take a razor blade and trim the rubber a bit as some times there are injection points left on them.....

    Thanks, it was just the k&n sticks out s little more, when I screwed the cover on it was fine. Now for the fuel filter. Thanks again, Mike

    There is a recess in the cap that the finger grip on the K&N fits into...
