Im ready to do something with the intake on my '98 (KKm or dril it) I already have the drop in K&N so I wanted to try the duct tape trick (tape the filter in place to the top of the airbox) but I can't figure out How to get the airbox out. There are no srews does it just snap out? Is there a bolt undeneath that I don't see? I'll probably order the KKM soon but I wanted to get started. Please help. Are there any pics anywhere on the web to help.
 






i have a 99 5.0 and it just came out with a little tug
 






If it's the same as a 4.0,there are 4 "posts" that fit into 4 rubber grommets - 2 on the bottom and 2 on the side. Gentle tugging will do it. I got the bottoms loose first, then the sides. Put my KKM on this evening - took about 15 minutes. I did drill a new hole for the mounting bracket bolt about an inch away from the intended hole for a square fit.
