I can’t get air box off, videos and posts say it’s grommets and show the box off . Does it pry off ? Do you turn something? It’s hard to get to ,
To do that . Getting frustrated. Seems to be a simple !

Here ya go....nothing like a visual. Go to YouTube. Search "how to get air box out of a C5 Corvette". Go to the video: "How to install C5 Corvette air intake: (its from Mid American Motorworks).

Hope this helps.

The grommets in the airbox slide over the studs. It "pops" off, but it may not be easy with 20 year old rubber .I had to use a pry bar.
