Removal
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Raise the front of the vehicle with a jack and place it on supports (see Fig. "Lifting the car and placing it on supports"). Remove the front left wheel.
2. Unscrew the nuts from the mounting studs and lower the left wheel arch liner (see fig. 34.2)

3. Working from the engine compartment, on the left wing panel, loosen the three screws securing the filter-absorber bracket to the wing panel (see fig. 34.3). There is no need to unscrew the screws, since the holes in the wing are elongated.
