1. Lift the 2 caps off on the engine cover - careful not to lose them!
2. I think it's something like a 12mm socket - use that to loosen the bolts (they don't come out)
3. Near where your right hand is, a tube comes from the box to the engine, it's beside the coil with the 4 leads coming out; take that tube off the block.
4. Use mole grips to loosen that ridiculous clamp on the left of the airbox near the front, slide the clamp to the airbox and remove mole grips. Twist and slide the hose off.
5. Airbox should now just lift off.
6. You'll need a torque screw set and a posidrive/philips to remove the 2 plastic bits underneath.
Just make sure all the gaskets aren't trapped when putting the whole airbox back together, give it a good clean. I had leaves in mine! Also, when you put it back, put on the back of the airbox (near the windscreen) first as there seems to be 2 "things" to locate it on. Make sure that little pipe goes back on ok. Also, a pipe at the back left, it's like a t-junction. Other than that, just reverse the steps.
Hope that helps.
