airbox off 172 mk 2, how to do it

[Weeman]

Hey dudes, before I start taking the wrong bolts off and stuff, what do I need to do, to get the airbox off or open to put my new itg panel filter in??



cheers

You tart! Its obvious!

To replace the filter you just need to undo the 8 "star" bolts around the airbox. Also loosen the pipe going from it to the TB. Lift of the top of the airbox, hey presto.

Havent got a clue how to put it back together

the 8 star bolts were what was worrying me, as I dont have a star shaped screwdriver, and cant really be arsed trapesing round the local diy store, though it looks like Ill have 2, Im a lazy git, fly over and do it for me sweetness

you could probably do it with a small flat head screwdriver if you have one small enough
