Re: Removing Air Filter?

["bmxman 69" <bmxman_69@hotmail.com>]

It's really not as hard as it's made out to be. Just pull the big rubber 
boot off, then take a LONG flat bladed screw driver and open the clips on 
the airbox. After that I was able to move the fuel distributor/airbox top 
enough to pull it off on my Coupe GT.

Also, the airmetering plate will show up when you pull the boot and it will 
probably be very nasty.
