ok so, i was down in the garage changing my headlights and i figured it was a while since i changed the air filter. i took out the screwdriver and it turns out the screws are locked, i can't turn them, most likely rusted, but i opened the airbox just 9 months ago when my friend changed the filter. maybe he might have tighten them super tight or i'm thinking it's rusted.

I used my racketing screwdriver and it just snapped the bit and broke it RIGHT OFF!!
am i screwed or what?? lol cause i can't open the airbox

 

Soak the screws in wd-40 or something. That usually helps me when I have a subborn screw or bolt to get out. Other than that you may be screwed and have to drill them out or something. Good luck.

 

Umm.. can't you just use a 10mm socket?

 

if you replaced your filter 9 months ago, its still good unless you drive through fields and in dusty areas.

 

well i tried using the socket, but it's stuck, it literally almost broke the airbox when i started trying to turn it pulling so hard.

the screws are holding the box in place right now, i'll try the WD40 suggestion by soaking it with a cloth or something
