Default Deflapping trouble..

Hi - I'm in the process of deflapping (right now!) but I don't have a Helm's (er, Bentleys?) manual.. I figured I'd just get in there and get my hands dirty.

Anyway, I got the top two pieces of the airbox off, cleaned the small air filter, got the hosing off of the main box, and took out the main air filter.. the bottom half of the box is still there (the flap is in sight!) but I can't seem to wiggle it out.

I've removed the .. weird three piece plastic clamp holding it to the body, and removed all the hosing clips, but it still seems connected to something (near the flap itself). Do you have to get underneath the car to remove something? Any tips?

If anyone has the time for a phone call, help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys-

Chris

Default you have to remove the entire bottom half of the airbox first.

there is a vacuum hose attached the the flap actuator that has to be disconnected before you can pull the bottom half of the airbox out....that may be what's keeping you from pulling it out.

How do I get at that vacuum hose? From underneath the car?
