N63 air box removal
Plan to replace spark plugs today but ran into a snag. After removing intake ducts and hot air film sensor I come not maneuver the air box out of the engine compartment Is there a trick here that I am missing. Search the site and found one link unfortunately the pics are no longer available.
Thanks |

I just pulled mine this weekend to do a downstream o2 sensor. I removed the cowls on both sides, there are 3 bolts in the back that are tricky to get to. So take a 13mm socket, turn the plastic keepers half a turn, pull the upper portion of the cowls by the wipers out, then remove the lower portion, with a few hex head bolts and some torx head bolts, then you should see the bolts you are missing for the air box to be removed. You don't have to remove the brace bars in the process. I can take pictures late today if you don't understand what I mean.
