Darn airbox won't budge....help my 5.0

[97EB V8]

for the life of me I can't figure out how to get that damn box out. I can see where the box attaches, but no screws or bolts are visible It's a 5.0L so I guess it's different from the airbox in the 4.0L...but any help would be appreciated...
thks

97EB, The bottom half of the airbox housing has to plastic posts that go through rubber grommets. Also going into the right fender is some type of stabilizer...plastic thin, about 3-4 inches. All you have to do is pull on the end closest to the radiator first. Just pull it straight up. It should pop out. Then do the same with the end closest to to the fender. Basically once you get these post out of the grommets you can take the bottom half out. I am assuming you have the round type housing.
