Trying to remove the airbox....

jboyd12 · March 29th, 2012, 06:06 PM

So I'm trying to remove the airbox and I am down to the last screw, but it is right against the frame/rear passenger peg (bottom left of airbox) and I have no idea how to get a screw driver in there. Any advice??

It is a pain to get out. I had already taken off my exhaust and passenger pegs when I took mine off. You might have to take off the peg. It should be pretty easy to come out the back if you take out the rear wheel too.

I took the footpeg off, did you guys remove the rear liner? I guess that's the only way this shitbox is coming out

I don't honestly remember how I got that screw out. Try long enough and you will figure it out.

If I were you, I would just take the rear-wheel and mudflap thing off and pull it out the rear.

I spent hours trying to get mine out the top (I didn't have a rear stand at the time), and ended up taking a jigsaw to it and going ape s**** and destroying it

I was able to move the airbox around enough to get to all of the screws without too many problems. As for getting it out, I used a very big, strong pair of dykes and modified the shape of the box for easy removal...if you aren't going to reinstall it, I highly recommend the path of most destruction.

Agreed. In order to get mine out without removing the rear wheel, I had to do quite some damage to the thing. I believe the screw you are referring to was the same one I had a tough time with. If I remember correctly, I removed everything else and used a long screwdriver to pry the box upwards to get at the screw.

For me, nothing was more satisfying than getting that stupid box out (in terms of mods). I think it took me longer to get the pods on though (hard a rough time without using the airbox headers because I tore one).
