Default Air filter assembly removal??

How do I remove this assembly?? There are two rubber grommet looking things holding the front / top air filter lid to the frame I think. How do I remove them?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,
It's been a while but if I remember .. Take the electrical connector off the front sensor on the hose. Disconnect the air intake hose. Disconnect the small air injection hose on the driver's side of the assembly. Pry the front of the airbox off of the grommets with a long screwdriver. Look for any connections I have forgotten. The whole assembly then will lift out.

Thanks, I have it that far.

How do I remove the front air box lid from the frame? It seems to have 2 grommets that must be removed inside the air box lid.

As the poster two up said, use a long screwdriver and pry towards the engine. The lid will pop of off the grommets. :iagree: Oh, make sure the air filter has already been removed.
