you pretty much have to destroy the thing to get it out.

Lift up driver side front or whole front. Turn wheel all the way to the right or take off driver side front wheel. Remove plastic clips holding inner fender lining, about 5-10 plastic clips. You should be able to pull the lining back, so that you can see under the blower. You can now loosen the filter and pull it out from underneath. Putting it back on, is harder than taking it off, but it can be done.

I chose to take off my wheel because I am running 265/35 tires in the front and even with the wheel turned all the way, I have very limited space.
