Theres two 10mm screws on each side of the cover. Remove the airfilter/air bridge assy, MAF wiring harness and the four screw and off it comes.

There are to plastic pressure nuts or whatever they are called about mid way down. Once you remove them they are toast so just pull them out. Also there are 4 10 mm bolts on the bottom in the corner two are on the side, and two are on the bottom. The two on the side are right behind the center rubber air dam. You also need to disconnect the light and the temp sensor. both are on the lower right side of the cover.

Good luck

Nothing weird at all.

M6 bolts have a 10mm hex heads on them, so you use a 10mm socket on the bolt heads.

Got it! Kinda like calling a 3/8 allen head screw a 5/16 screw because it takes a 5/16 allen key.

Me just havin some fun...
