Air filter bolts

[alexojones]

Hi hope someone can help,
I'm trying to change the air filter on my 1978 cb750k , the nuts are turning in the airbox at the bottom so I can't seem to get it undone . Any tips to help get it off without messing up the airbox ?

Cheers
Alex

Pull a carb to airbox boot and see if you got access through them. Maybe yes and maybe no.

I will typically use a Dremel to cut a slot in the bottom part of the bolt that is recessed into the bottom of the airbox to permit the use of a short screwdriver to hold the bottom part of the bolt stationary. I'll often make this mod to all of the lower bolt heads for prevent future issues here.

Thanks for the responses, I borrowed a mates Dremel , cut a slot and it worked a dream .
