There are 3 screws but the seem to have a harness bracket undernesth. I can turn them either direction. Is there a special "trick" to it?


TIA

Huh? Just unscrew the 3 bolts and it should come off. Keep trying, I've never heard nor had any problems. Good Luck!

 

it can get a little tricky, the screws have to go through 2 sets of threads spaced apart. just unscrew and when it doesn't come up anymore, pull up on the screw w/ your finger to catch the next set of threads and unscrew some more. if it sounds confusing you'll know what i mean when you do it

 

That's called a "captive screw". Used when you really don't want to lose the screw. In this case, you really don't have to unscrew through the second set of threads.

Just undo those 3 screws and muscle it off. There's really nothing in there that's fragile.

 

Thanks guys, I see what you mean. I managed to get it off after giving it another try. It makes quite a nice sound. You can definetly hear the air being sucked in and it's a much deeper sound too.

you don't remove the three screws all the way, but once you get them to the point where it feel like they are no longer holding anything down, pull up on the top of the airbox, and the whole thing screws and all should come off.
