Knee bolster is the pad the passenger's knee hits just below the glovebox. If I remember correctly, it's held in by the outer two glovebox screws and a couple other screws on the bottom.

Yes, they're accessed through the engine compartment towards the top of the firewall.

Do I have to remove the engine and transmission to replace the filters?

how did you manage to get the stereo/HVAC panel off... im trying to replace my bowden cable..

Remove the 3 control knobs and you will see two screws. The panel sort of "clicks" into place. At least mine did...

No there's more than that. There's a screw up under the top of the radio opening and another one up under the top of the clock opening. There's also tabs on the backside that hook into the dash, so you have to pull down and out. Be careful not to break those tabs off, otherwise the panel will never secure properly.

If you're just replacing the light behind the panel, you can access it by simply removing the radio(no need to remove the HVAC panel). I took pics a while ago for another member, let me see if I can find them.

Edit; Here's the pics. There's only one bulb behind the panel:

And here's a couple pics of the HVAC panel:
