unable to open honda jazz 2008 air filter lid

[ilamurugus]

Hi,
     I have honda jazz 2008 model. I had tried to open the air filter lid but i am unable to open. I had unlocked the 4 clips and pulled the the lid upwards. But the lid is not coming outside. i had seen in many you tube videos, they are  opening the lid easily. Is there a trick to open the air filter lid?

Thanks,
Ilam

To remove airbox lid you will need to pull its 'spout' ( on rear of lid ) out of the air hose that goes to inlet manifold,  IIRC a bit of a twist will free it.  maybe a smear of silicone on the airbox lid 'spout' will make it easier to pull out in future.
