Yesterday I was seeing some info about changing the air filter with some step by step instructions on how to get things apart. (I'm putting in a K&N soon.)
Today I can't find it anywhere ! Last night I went out to check the fuses (Sure enough, they were loose!) While I was there I also looked at the air filter situation. The engine cover in particular. How does that thing come off anyway? I couldn't see how it is held on and I don't want to break something accidently. Can anyone tell me where that info is again?
Incidently, does that cover have any actual use other than to hide stuff?

 

Here's the thread you are looking for. Not sure about what it covers though...never had mine off.

Thanks for the help! Now I see that the cover and filter housing are screwed together. So I guess the cover does have a function!

 

You got it. That cover actually houses the air filter itself. It's actually pretty easy to remove. Just must develop patience young grasshoppa'.
