Pull the rounded cap off where the screw is on those hose clamps lol Edited 15/06/13 04:30 AM by Ford Freak Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85294-opening-airbox/#findComment-1398493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford use em for various things like the bolts that hold the seat down etc.. You can get a set of torx sockets from a hardware store 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85294-opening-airbox/#findComment-1398520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
