Air Box

Kwondo777 · 05-11-2004, 08:59 AM

Has anyone had an unusually difficult time trying to secure down the air box on an S4? And all I mean by secure, is re-clamp the Four silver brackets that hold the two shells together.
It seems as if you need a surgical tool to get down to the inner-most bracket (towards firewall and closest to the engine).
I did not have enough time to arm wrestle with it, so for now I am rolling with only Three of Four clamps in the locked down position--can this be bad for the engine?

WOW........if that is what it takes......I am shocked. I can't believe it is necessary to completely remove the Air Box in order to change the filter, that is just awesome--and not surprising.

Thanks for the blatent truth...it hurts, but it's true.
