Hi Guys

I have been trying to remove the lower air filter box to get at the vacuum lines to replace them have removed the 2 large bolts but cant seem to get at the one in the middle down the hole! Read somewhere that it is a 13mm socket but I cant even get a slim 13mm down the hole looking at it it looks like an allen bolt Any ideas?

Regards Jezzy

If it,s the filter housing below ? the 13mm bolt with locknut is located on the plenum centre at the back you can see it here part No 9.., thats all you need to remove and the filter unit lifts out ?

..., well done, I think I made the same mistake 23 years ago, however one thing I can never ever get right first time, and that is putting the lower housing back, that is a son of a gun :wink:
