remove the clamp around the air tube disconnect the wiring and lift it out

it is retained a rubber grommets in the inner fender and just pulls out

 

[Exploderpilot]

it's not screwed down at all? i guess i'm a first gen guy only. oh well......

i thought my 97 was bolted down like my 93 until i gave it one good tug and fell backwards with the bottom of the air box in my hand. i fall down too much.

 

[rob1507]

yeah i think i just have to give it a better tug

it does help to give the lower grommets a shot with WD40 or something, that way you don't have to pull so hard the thing flies up and smacks you in the head when it breaks loose. I think they are accessible from the inside when you have the top off.

Yeah I tore that CRAP out of my finger trying to pull mine out. Be careful
