Has anybody encountered any difficulty moving the outlet tube out of the way of the air filter housing so as to change the air filter?

Just changed mine and after I removed the clamp around the tube I hard the darndest time moving that tube out of the way so I could actually pull the air filter out. Looks like if you were to push too hard you could crack the intake to the throttle plate...

 

I replaced mine a few months ago and found it was a tight fit also. I just pushed it down and back enough the get the filter out. Typical snug engine compartment fittings. You'd think with all that room under the hood, they could spare and inch here and there.
