Elan S2 - how to remove airbox?

[dogmotor]

Does it just pull straight off? Mine doesn't seem to want to move!

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Assuming you're talking about the airbox over the Webers then, yes, once you've removed the bolt from the back (it fits through the cable-supporting bracket base) the front cover does pull off. But it may have been fitted with a sealant on the rubber face which is sticking it to the backplate. Then you'll have to dig a lever in somewhere to slowly prise it free.

It you are talking about the intake filter housing then it is always a battle as it is a metal to metal joint like a paint can (in England anyway) once the wing-nut has been released. Plenty of rust release fluid and brute force but watch the brackets attaching it to the bodywork.

Thank you!
