Default How to clean NISMO Cold air Filter

I've searched for the answer but the best thing I found was it took 20 mins to remove and clean?

Its so far down in there I have no idea how to remove it. If I have to remove some other parts - what would they be? Any help is appreciated.

Can I remove the filter without jacking the car up?

If this has been posted I apologize

Read this thread:

Depending on what intake you have it would probably be easier to remove your fender lining or front bumper entirely in order to access the filter and clean it with a Dry solution (not an oiled solution) like this:

Totally fine as long as you didn't use the oil portion

The filter was designed to not be oiled
