I have a 2003 Accord and changing it was a breeze. Emptied the glove
compartment, pulled the plastic tab(s) on the side(s) of the glove box
towards the center so the glove box can hinge all the way out and down, then
reached in and slide out the little tray, removed the old filter, put in the
new filter, slis the tray back in, pulled up the glove box lid so it would
return to the normal open position, reinserted all of the junk, closed the
lid.............done. Took about 5-10 minutes.

The 2000 Accord is different from the 2003 Accord.

I have a 98 Accord. I have changed the a/c filters 3-4 times so far.
Honestly I don't recall ever CUTTING a brace. I do remember taking out
several screws to remove a cross brace below the glove box.
First time, it took me about an hour. Subsequent times about 30 minutes.
Strongly recommend to do it in a garage or warm weather to increase the flex
of the plastic panels. They WILL discolor or break if flexed too far
especially in colder weather.

That brace is there solely to assist during assembly of the car at the
factory.

The factory instructions for replacing the cabin air filter involve
cutting that brace if it's there.

I believe it even has relief marks stamped into it to assist said
cutting.

Thats funny! I've changed litterly hundreds of these and never had to
cut any thing. The Odesey and the Pilot both have a plastic brace
that needs removed. The 98 - 2002 Accords just have screws, some well
hidden behind plastic covers (center console, and knee bolster). I
recomend reading a service manual before attempting this.

Here is a link to a great set of instructions on changing them, and they use
a 1998 accord as an example. 98-02 Accords should be the same.

That is a pain in the *** to fix.
