I have had a good look around this site and elsewhere but I can't find anything on this. How do I get the lid off my air filter canister? I can unclip the two snaps and the lid is loose at the back. But I can't rotate the lid to disengage the catch at the front of canister. The large rubber hose (about 90mm diameter 150mm length) that connects the top of the canister lid to the intake of the throttle body prevents the lid from moving. This rubber hose is held by a hose clamp at each end which I can remove. But the rubber hose is very hard, practically solid plastic at this point, so I cant get it off the nipples at either end. Am I thinking correctly, this large rubber hose has to come off, right? Any suggestions appreciated.
