Help with Engine Air Filter Install
Hello, I did a search for this but only found one thread with a link and the link did not work. I am trying to change the engine air filter but I do not know how to get the torx bolts out every torx wrench tool I have tried is too long to fit in the space under the bolt. I know this is probably an easy thing to do but this is my first time trying it. Any help would be great.
Thanks

It doesn't sound like you pulled the entire airbox out. You have to do that first to access the Torx screws. Simply separate the airbox from the two air inlet pieces, then pull the airbox out. (You have to pull on the rear of the box pretty deftly to get it to separate from the seal.) Once the airbox is out, you simply unscrew the screws, pull the two airbox pieces off, replace the filters, and reverse the removal procedure. Pretty easy.

The whole top of the engine (airbox) is held in by three of four c-clips. you need to pull the whole thing up and out (after removing the air intake ducts) and go from there.
