Is there one on a 2011 Avalanche?

New set will give you instructions...
some screws to remove and of course different sizes...
Dash bottom trim screws are 1/4" I think
About 2-4 of these to remove topull top down against floor.
Then one 7/32" I think for the filter cover doohickey which is a L shape peice of plastic..
2 filters shoved up in hole...
Could be easier but not bad and always full of dead bugs and crap.

yes...raiderron said:The way you said that it makes it sound like you put one in and then have to shift it sideways in to a cavity and then put the second one in? Correct?
Yep, it is..wyotonka said:If you guys in Cheyenne are anything like us up here in Gillette the dust is pretty bad to begin with
raiderron said:Ok, wise guys! That was a PIA! The kicker cover had places for 3 screws but the one right behind the center console was missing and I can see why! The other 2 came right out and then the hinged cover was a cinch to remove. First filter found and removed easily, I thought for a second that it only had one filter till I twisted my body around and put on magnifier glasses and found the second filter, coaxed it forward and slipped it out. The new filters went right in and reassembled the covers. Tried to EASILY get another screw in the hole where the missing screw was. No easy task, laid on my back, held my tongue just right, twisted fingers in unnatural ways, bit my tongue, dropped the screw, went thru the whole ritual again, did not bite my tongue this time, fingers seemed to be more flexible than I thought they would be, started the screw with a hope and prayer method, got a flex extension with a 7mm socket and when I got it tight I said to myself-"Self why didn't you just leave that screw out because now you have to remove it again when you change the filters the next time. " Live and learn. Just noticed that somehow I scraped my left forearm and it bled when I wasn't looking and now I have blood on my shirtsleeve.
