To remove the air filter from a Fantic XEF 250 when the screw turns but the filter does not come out:

1. Remove the seat by taking off the initial part labeled “1”.
2. Loosen the quick fastener screw “3” and remove the air filter case cover “2”.
3. Remove the ribs “4” from the projections “5” on the air scoop.
4. Slide the air filter case cover forward to remove it.
5. Turn plates “6” in direction “A”.
6. Remove the air filter guide “7”.
7. Take out the filtering element “8” from the guide.
8. Remove guide “9” and gasket “10” from the filtering element.

If the screw turns but the filter does not come out, ensure the plates and guides are properly turned and removed as described. The screw may only be a fastener for the cover, not for the filter itself.
