Default Lid to air box

Boyz and Girlz, I picked up a Z06 lid from a fellow CF member. Now my being a non wrench guy is showing it's colors.
How do I take the stock lid off, and vise a versa?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Vinnie

Sorry, I should have done a search first, it seems that Dave answered the question last Friday and it's the same one I asked.

Get the whips out and let me have it...

Default removal

Release latches, remove filter, reach from the bumper pull toward the rear, this will pop lid off rubber catch washers. (same type as air bridge)
It's easier push off from the front, underneath hood between hood hinges.

A little water will lubricate those rubber gromets and make it easier to get off and install.
