450 airbox removal?

[terrylee]

Can someone tell me how to get the airbox off a 450? I have tried everything, including removing battery and box, rear fender. Just got repair manuel and of course no mention of this. terrylee

I removed one from an 86 and it came out the right side. There was a hidden bolt somewhere but I can't seem to remember where.

On my 81 you push it forward after the carbs are out and pull it through the side.

thanks for the responses, I'll try it again when I take the carbs. off again. terrylee

It can be a pain in the rear trying to get that out..
