Intake grate

Waveman237 · 02-01-2008, 03:40 PM

Hi,

I'm removing my intake grate for the first time on a 2004 Honda Aquatrax F12-X. What is required to do this? I removed the four intake grate holding bolts, do I just need to pull the grate down overcoming the silcone? I see a pin in the forward-center part of the intake grate. I cannot tell in the manual but I think the pin is for alignment and the intake grate should pull down, rear side tilted out first. Does this sound correct? Does the rear skid plat need to be removed?

Its easier to get off with the rear plate removed! do not pry on the fiberglass, you can use a low powered heat gun to loosen the silicone, not to hot!! then just work it loose, the pin is for alignment! just be careful not to crack the glass!
