Removal Procedure
Note: DO NOT remove any constant tension clamp retaining a bellow to an air cleaner elbow. Once a constant tension clamp is removed the integrity of the clamp is damaged. The sealing joint between a bellow and the air cleaner bellow
should not be broken. Once this joint is broken, the air cleaner duct assembly must be replaced.
