Angry HKS suction kit install

Oh god, (bangs head on table multiple times). I was making great time, about 30 minutes in, everything done. Only thing left is to unhook MAF from air box, and attach to airfilter, and I would be done. Well, while unscrewing the MAF from the airbox, TWO of the screws broke they're plastic retainers and now just spin in place. Impossible to get them loose without destroying the airbox. And the crappy thing is, my dremel is elsewhere and I'm stuck now. ******* stupid airbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! airbox

get a wrench and hold them in place

But make sure you put like a roll of duct tape inside the box to protect the MAS mesh

I tried that, (minus the tape) to no avail. They just spin anyway and cause my fingers to be SMASHED in between the handles of the wrench. I will take way more satisfaction out of cutting the airbox into little pieces
