Removing air filter box

[Simpson]

This must be really simple but beyond me.  Trying to fit a snorkel and need to remove the air filter box to insert the L bend into the snorkel but can't for the life of me see how to remove the filter box.  Can anyone help?  Have removed all inlets, top cover etc but can't seem to get it loose.  Thanks Greg

Sorry but its a 2002 ZD30 3 litre turbo manual.

G'day mate,

When you look underneath the mudguard/wheel arch towards the front of the vehicle there is a recess with 2x M6 studs+nuts sticking out and further backwards higher up in the arch the 3rd stud poking.

There are easy(cheap) alternatives, if you have Clarks rubber store nearby than they sell all sorts of foam inserts, just get the right size and length.

Alternatively (more expensive) you can buy one from E-Bay AIRBOX-LID-SEAL-Manufactured-exclusively-for-Patrol-for-shape-fit

 

or go to CBC Bearings and buy one of their "O" rings which also fits, part no: BS445A
