air filter help needed now !!!!!!!

[bigdogrepo]

what an absolute mine field. can anyone tell me how to get the ait filter housing off i want to change filter and plugs. I have loosened the two obvious nuts on the top. the thing wont split, and it does not appear to go back far enough on the hinges to losen any nuts that i can see underneath. it is a 1.4 zetec on a 2004 plate

Its held at the back on 2 studs, you just need to lift it off, it can be stiff.
