The airbox is part of the engine cover. It did take a bit of force on mine to wiggle it off.

Also have some kitchen roll ready as the filter will be very sticky and will need a wipe to remove the excess oil before installation.

A tip:  make sure you take the black bungs/plugs off the engine cover once you have it off and put them on the attachment points in the engine bay, then either grease them or WD40 and the cover will pop straight back on  :wink:

Try one corner at a time, and make sure whatever you have hold of isn't too flimsy  :smiley:

The top right hand corner is pretty thick, will try and get that one off first
