Hi.
May I ask how you did it without Bumper removal please?

Not sure if mine is needing replacement, I just want to check it.

Thank you.

Hello
I replaced mine last week by just removing the front wheel and inspection hatch. It was a bit fiddly but easy. Took about twenty mins. The only downside to this method is you will need axel stands to be safe

Bill,if you remove the inspection hatch in the wheel arch,you should be able to see it,or what's left of it

It took me 10 minutes to take the bumper off. Just 10 or so bolts along the top. Two self tappers and pull.

Then had easy access to the shannon tube.

No wheels removed.
No axle stands.
No removing the air filter box.

Thanks all...... I just want to check at this stage so it will be the inspection hatch....

Plus, it's also all a bit academic as I have an Induction Kit anyway.

Appreciate the tips....
