Here is show at YouTube video by @dial2fast on how to remove the battery which covers the long front cover, the air intake snorkel and battery cover with battery removal. You can forward fast to 2minutes 47 seconds to be at where you need to be. Now the engine cover is held down in 4 locations, and is jut a pull straight up motion. Don't worry, you will not break anything. The plastic cover has 4 receiver holes in it and 4 rubber grommets in it to receive the 4 rounded bullet style plastic short stabs stick up from the intake manifold in almost the 4 corners - they are not evenly spaced or placed and the only way to get that cover back on is by prayer. I have a hard time doing it myself and attempt to get one peg into the cover at a time and you will not be able to see it. It does push down hard to get on through the grommet. I often think I would remember to spray a little WD-40 on them so would slide on but forget to do it. The fellow that is doing it here believes in using a lot of tie wraps to hold the positive wire down, also he does not remove the air snorkel or battery cover and just installs on the positive battery stud which all can be done ok. For your information the Generation 5 Ody (2018-2024 ?2025?) vehicles are almost all identical.
