Don't.


Don't even try it. Ive lost 3 fingers, an eye and the will to live.

Just take the damn thing off.

Or just loosen the bolts enough for you to be able to slide the cover off. Least that's the way I've always done it.

i just take it off only 4 bolts done it that many times now lol wpuld be good to open air filter up without taking strut brace off but how often really do you open airfilter up?

I have strut bar made by omp and with that it's impossible to change air filter without taking off the bar. I change my filter every 10K, always dirty. It's too small for tdi's air capacity...

i take the airbox out in one piece past the bar , makes it easy to reseat the filter too , without it falling into the box and u put the lid on
