Reyesz3 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 i have a Fiesta Mk4 1.4 1998 i have a damaged airbox and i want to install an induction kit instead. i have managed to remove the top half and the air filter, but the bottom is stuck on something. i've removed all the locks from the bottom part of the airbox however it seems the airbox is still attached to the intake pipe i think. it doesnt seem to budge even with some amount of force, is there something im missing (screws etc) or is more force needed to pry it from the pipe? help me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeroyuk Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I remember my car guy had problems getting out the casing, as the engine so compact where air box is I think he used force and wiggling but dont use to much force will crack the case and are u sure u have undone all bolts Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wase16ll Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 iirc its just the casing pushed into rubber grommets if you can give those grommets a good coating of wd40 it will ease removal and lessen chance of snaping the casing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
