You haven't seen the Odyssey I take it. You have to remove the glovebox, cut
out a plastic bar used for assembly, Remove the glovebox mounting rail with
screws buried in the side and then you can get to the door to the filter. It
is more like a one hour operation, not 1 minute.

Cutting the plastic bar used for assembly is done ONLY at the FIRST
filter replacement.

Obviously, once it's cut, you don't do it anymore.

The leftmost glovebox mounting rail screws need only be loosened, not
removed.
