`I have a 1940 one ton pickup with a heavy duty air filter that is attached to the left side if the engine and has a cover that goes from the filter to the carburetor. There are four bolts in slots that attach the filter to the holding bracket. How does one remove this filter from the carburetor and the bracket? Nothing seems to want to budge, and I don't want to break anything. I cannot turn the base to move the four bolts from the slots. this is a pretty much original rig with only 30,000 miles.

first get rid of the oil in the bottom of the filter by loosening the two wing nuts on the side and rotating the base slightly so the brackets crear the two studs and lower the base down to remove. Then loosen the screw in the clamp that attaches the filter to the top of the carb. Then remove the four bolts that attach the filter to the base and rise the filter and air horn off the top of the carb. Thats it. have fun cleaning the old oil out of the base, note fill line stamped into the outside of the base, fill with fresh engine oil.
