Our air filter box is a little bit hacked up, but removing it should be the same process—you just have to lift straight up, and there's two posts on the bottom of the air filter box that slide into rubber grommets; it's easy enough to just pull them straight up. Around the outside edge you have a handle that you just lift up, and at that point you can remove the plastic air filter housing and the air filter itself.

Our air filter is obviously very dirty, so we'll be replacing that. But in the interest of showing you how it's installed, you put the air filter on first, and then you get your plastic air filter housing. Now there is a tab on it that needs to line up, so you going to make sure your tab is lined up before you put this band around the center. If the tab is lined up and the band is around the center all the way around, you can snap that back into place. You want to go find your two studs on the bottom and push 'em right down into the rubber grommets.
