How To Install Cabin Air Filter 1998 Cadillac Sts

Green Incrat · March 31, 2012

Finally I made it. Took a lot of hours, non the 45 min it said on the box . Here'due south some photos. Promise it give an thought what to think of.

i. After finding the white minor plastic trap door and removed the door with a plier the get-go filter is visible (on photograph is and so I install the new filter). The small tab tin be used to remove the first filter. In my case the tap fell off on all three filters so I twisted to become the filters loose...

2. I therefore needed something to grip the filter with. A used windshield wiper made it. I pushed it in the small pigsty in the filters finish, se motion-picture show. This gave grip and power to pull the one filter out. The process was the same with filter 2 and three. A second trouble was that filter iii didn't fall down straight. Once once more I had apply of the windshield wiper and a long screewdriver to button upwardly the end to let the whole filter slide downwardly in it full length at same time. Hard to practice laying on back and go the tools right in this small-scale room. I also used a minor, portable inspection camera with flexible arm euqipped with ii led and screen to inspect how the filter was stuck.

3. The old filter was really clogged with leafs etc. In back the iii new filters. With the 3 old filter out it was possible to vacuum clean as much dirt as possible within the small opening for the filters.

4. To install new filters slide them of from each other every bit they came outfrom the box. Spray the interlocking tracks with silicone to make it easier to install. You possibly demand to curve the filters most 45 degrees to have them fit into the opening.

5. Important: Note how the tab is placed (see also first moving picture). Tab must exist installed facing down, make it possible for next filter to interlock to start filter, and then second filter to third filter. To install filter 2 (and 3) y'all need to push upwardly previous filter to get side by side filter in. Silicone and slide the two filter in the tab on the 1 filter. And then button it all the way in, note then the filter slide into the runway all the way.
