All the air filters I am familiar with just have this step.  Yes, 
that's the place to stop.

If you clean the oil off it VERY WELL it will probably mend with 
super glue.  In the future leave the air cleaner end snugly attached 
to the air cleaner and tighten the clamp on the other end JUST ENOUGH 
that it will slip off the intake air distributor when you want it to. 
DO NOT FLEX this elbow when you are removing the air cleaner.  It 
just won't hold up to that kind of treatment.

If you cannot fix yours, I can probably come up with a good used one, 
but there were different versions, so I'll need details to be sure 
you get the right one.
