Check your owner's manual. If you want to have it replaced, you need to go to a dealer, but be advised the case and element are one integral part and costs over $100 dollars.

The first one is your battery covered in a plastic shroud. The middle one is your air box where your air filter is. From the image it looks like 2 bolts on the front of it and most likely will be 2 bolts on the back side. If the bolts are the same bolts you already tried then look at the right and left sides of the box. From the image it looks like it has a plastic clip holding it down. Normally just a small flat head screwdriver pushed into these holes will release the catch latch. Most air cleaners are a pain to open, they are wedged in tight and after many many miles of suction from the intake they can tend to stick. Most air boxes are either screws/bolts, metal clips (honda) or plastic release clips like I described above. Click the link to open the picture:
