Dont take off your stock airbox unless you are heavily modified!!! Its not worth it, do some searching on the forums.

umm use 10mm to hold one end and grab another 10mm to loosen up.
if you do not have 2 - 10mm or thers no room, grab some pliers to hold one end where u messed up the plastic, and 10mm on the nut.

i assume you mean a 10 mm wrench and not a 10mm socket cuz the other end is oval shaped.

Get a pipe wrench like this one.



Grab it and or get a buddy to hold it and loosen that bolt.

DO NOT use WD-40....in fact, it is not recommended to clean these things either.
