You can Select Your Vehicle to check if F3TZ-9601-Z fits your vehicle.

At the specified intervals, the air filter should be replaced with a new one. A thorough program of preventative maintenance would call for the filter to be inspected periodically between changes. The air filter is located inside the air cleaner housing on the top of the engine. To remove the filter, unscrew the wing nut at the top of the air cleaner and lift off the top plate. If the top plate is connected to emissions control devices, tilt it back far enough to allow access to the filter element. While the top plate is off, be careful not to drop anything down into the carburetor. Lift the air filter out of the housing. To check the filter, hold it up to strong sunlight, or place a flashlight or drop light on the inside of the ring-shaped filter. If you can see light coming through the paper element, the filter is all right. Check all the way around the filter. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner housing with a rag. Be careful not to drop any debris down the carburetor. Place the old filter (if in good condition) or the new filter (if specified interval has elapsed) back into the air cleaner housing. Make sure it seats properly in the bottom of the housing. Reinstall the top plate with the wing nut.

To detach the fresh air intake duct from the air cleaner housing, you simply need to separate it from the housing.
