I did the same thing. Actually, i read that they were a pain and the edges basically twist off since they are cheap plastic. I was carefull and got 3 out without breaking them. Then, of course, on the 4th one, the head "rounded". I ended up using vice-grips to hold it in place.

Yeah there is a little trick to get them out - when you put the wrench on the nut give the end of the wrench a quick tap of the hand or with something instead of trying to muscle it off by turning. This kind of jars the nut loose and they twist right off and no breakage........it worked for me anyway.

Well hell looks like I should have asked this sooner....lol...I honestly have never
heard anyone say that it was a problem. After I broke the first two I just wanted
to kill the air box till it was dead....and I did, I so did....and it felt good I have to
say!...lol So looks like I will keep my eyes open for a stock airbox just incase I go
back...lol

P.S. Trav I ordered my 3bar....just have to order my 3 port and we are good to go.

Vice-grips would have been nice, I lended mine to a friend! So I tried channel
locks. Everytime I started to twist the nut they would slip off and pinch my finger.
To say I was irrated and pissed would be an understatement of the year...lol

A recent study conducted by Harvard University found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study by the American Medical Association found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcoholic beverages a year. This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind of makes you proud to be an American. Now feel free to return to your regular programming

Maybe not, but I'll take my chances on wheel vs. wheel bet.

No way in hell am I putting my HTA35 up against your stock turbo man. I've seen video proof that I can't win.
