TakenTheBacon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Hi guys, Nice day today so I went to clean engine bay and filter in my ST. Have an Airtec set of pipes, silicon elbow and cone air filter, Just wondering if anyone has tips on how to get the filter back into the elbow securely without pushing so much on the filter it would push the centre plastic of filter back inside itself?

TomsFocus Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Very light application of lubricant and then twist it into position rather than just pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo2001 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Can you put the silicone elbow in a container of boiling water to soften it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFord Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Now, is it just me, or has everyone now lost the gravitas of the OP original question? LOL 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
