Easy as taking candy from a baby (not that I know ok?)

 

Tools

 

13 and 10 mm spanner

+ or screw driver

 

First make sure ignition is off and key is out, first unplug the electrically connector on the left side of the afm body but how his is done depends on year of car the connector might have a release bar that simply needs pushing in to remove or the older type will need to be wiggled side to side and gently pulling from the afm, The unit its self is attached to a frame that is bolted (should be) to the battery tray, you will need to remove the two 10 mm bolts form the top (right side of the induction piping) and then remove the 13 nut on the left side under the connector all is needs is to now is undo the jubilee clips that joins the induction tubes in place with either a possy or flat head screw driver

 

Refitting is in reverse order to removing it
