How the heck do I remove the whole housing? I can access the actual filter area no problem but can not figure out how to remove the whole unit....it's like there's a tab welded to it up front on the passenger side??

There should be two tabs, at the front left and right corner when facing the windscreen. Each of those tabs should be bolted onto the rocker cover through a piece of hard rubber. Undo the bolts and the housing should easily slide upwards. If the tabs are welded on, you're in for a bad time...
