Can anyone shed some light on the procedure for changing the cabin air
filter on a '02 Odyssey. After completely removing the glove box I'm still
left with a substantial metal support across the filter slot which prevents
removal of the filter! Does the whole unit have to be dropped out of the
dash? Or am I missing something obvious here?

Check out these instructions @ Puralator web site:

(I have a 2000 Accord, and instructions appear to be similar - removing
the metal support is required).
Good luck.

Like the instructions say, you'll have to use a hacksaw or good diagonal
cutters to remove the plastic brace (if nobody has ever changed the
filter . .Phew) It's only there to strengthen the dash while it was
assembled.

That's not a metal support; that's a plastic support that gets snipped
out.

Go to www.odyclub.com and search the forum. There are step by step
instructions with pictures.
