It's not that it's the elbow to the bottom right of the pic
The whole bit on the right restricts the air box opening - I saw a how to which shows use rewind a screw on the elbow and pulling the black pipe out but mine has some strange jubilee like clips

just remove the airbox completely and then you'll have the ease of access to open/clean it and change the filter.
The pipe work/ wiring on the right of the pic is attaced to the side of the housing - this can be unscrewed but does not help it's too short to stretch to remove / fit the filter
I'm presuming it needs to be seperated so where

The wires ontop are just held down by clips, pull them off then carefully pull the air box apart, the wires will still be there but you should have just enough room to squeeze the filter through the gap
This can't be done - I'll add another pic
The wires/ cables - come from inside the wing from one side of box to the other and is fixed by a rigid pipe ( this can be unscrewed but it makes no difference)as you pull it to open the box it really starched the pipe - the gap cannot be made wide enough as its attached at the wing side
Am I making sense
What are these pipes?

There must be someone that lives close to S E Essex that could come and help.
Here's a picture from a Haynes manual stating that you have to remove the clip on the carbon canister valve.....there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
So you'll have to replace it with either a Jubille Clip or a Spring Band Clip.
