Having a lot of trouble getting the engine cover of this to replace air filters. The side clips and back screws all come away fine, it appears to be anchored by some bolts in the middel but there is no bolt/screw head acess. Does it just need a (very) firm tug? If it helps, this is the same V8 CDI as in the 2004 E400 CDI. Thanks for any help.

No guarantees for any breakages to my reply but as far as I can decipher from illustrations; infirmly tug the front upwards and then pull towards you the rest of the body.
