Turn the 3 twist pins, pull up/out the plastic cover. Remove the filter, carefully remove any leaves/trash that was under it to avoid dropping it into the blower motor etc. Then you will see 4 T30 torx head screws (gold colored) against the firewall, loosed those (they come out about 1/2" but stay in the housing). Then the whole housing can pull up and out easily.

You do not need to remove power cable.
