Replacing Inbox Filter - Help
Was wondering if anyone had replaced the in-box air filter.
Friend of mine got me an AFE inbox filter that fits in the original box. yeah, I know it has no gains, nonetheless... Went to pop it in expecting to find the same setup as in the M135 I had, four quick-snap shiny bits and your in... only to find a large metal support beam riding directly over the top of the box leaving no room to lift and slide the filter out, let alone get a new one in. Questing is: Should I remover the 4 bolts on the metal beam (marked red in pic) and proceed to the filter (would I need a torque wrench to reinstall)? OR Detach the intake duct from its base (marked green in the pic)? Somehow I get the feeling I wouldn't want to mess with the parts that have to do with structural integrity... But 4 bolts seem kind of straight forward and I wouldn't want to get into making sure I re-attach the duct properly without risking leaks and such. Any advise would be great. Thx |

Remove the four bolts. Very simple to remove the bar and replace after filter replacement.
