If you have an 08/2.4L, you will not be able to get the filter retainer off with a standard (shallow) 1-1/4" or a 32mm(?) socket. The #4 intake runner is in your way. A 1-1/4" crows foot works in this situation...but be careful & make sure you have a good bite on that plastic nut. I'm sure that there is a special tool but I'm too new to this car and have not done enough searching yet.

There is actually 2 different tools you can use, the most common being the crow's foot(and ftr: that is the tool the dealer uses for the job), the other method, is a really big freakin pair of slip-joint pliers!
