Side Intake Removal

[NSXnBRLA]

Is there a step by step description of how to remove side intake ducts? I've gotten the wheel and fender liner off, and the two very small flat-head screws, but im stuck now.

I did a search on all Technical-DIY forum topics with the word "side" in the subject, and found a reference to this DIY section of the FAQ.

HTH...

If you're referring to the side intake snorkel or the side intake scoop?

The snorkel itself has 3 screws that must be removed first, then you just wiggle out the snorkel piece and you're done.

The scoop has 2 "flower" looking locking nuts that hold it in place, one on the top-side location, and another on the botton-side location. You'll need some skinny hands to get to them and maybe small pliers. The nuts turn counter clockwise to be removed, and once they're removed the scoop is ready to come off.

Hope that helps a little. If not email as I have removed both pieces recently and remember everything about it.

If it has never been off before they might be quite tight - 3 of us tried & could not get enough leverage with fingertips on mine. My friend took a 22mm box wrench & cut the shaft with a torch so it was only about 3" long & it became the perfect tool! Only finger tightened them back up again though!
