The screws holding the covers on were fused solid. Not only did I have to do the usual re-slotting with the Dremel, but I had to unscrew them all the way out with the impact driver. They didn't reach a point where they could be turned by hand until they were almost all the way out.
Even after getting the screws out, I found that only one cover would come free. The other one was rusted tight. A couple whacks with the rubber mallet only succeeded in putting a dent in the body of the airbox (lesson learned).
But I don't think it's necessary to get both covers off in order to get a new filter in and make it functional. It's not pretty, but I think it'll do the job for now.
