    Its a pretty self explanatory process once you look at it...

    dude cmon, thats like one of the easiest things to do. you take the bar thats above it off so you can remove the box. then you undo the box as if you were gunna take the filter out. then rip the box out. that simple.

    Your PCM sits inside/at the bottom of the box as well, either buy a tray online or do what most people do and zip tie it or something similar so it is secure.

    Never seen someone try to torch it.

    Do that and video it.

    I tryed removing the bar above it and the bolts just keep turning... I figured there's a nut under the bar? But there's no room for to fit a hand? I'm confused

    Your bolts sound stripped... There are two bolts on your radiator support and one bolt up on your strut tower (if you need pics let me know). IF your bolts just freely turn, try to wedge a large screwdriver under the "bar" and try to pry it up as you turn to see if you can get unstripped threads to catch. I have cross threaded one of mine, I can get it out but I can't tighten it down..

    yeah your bolts sound stripped there are no nuts underneath. if you cant get them out its not a huge deal you still can get the airbox out, itll just be somewhat of a pain in the butt haha

    This thought crossed my mind when I saw the title.

    Step 1. Douse area with gasoline, or diesel fuel.

    Step 2. Light said area.

    Step 3. Stand back and drink a beverage of choice.

    Step 4. Call fire dept or insurance company. Choice is yours

    Step 5. Video steps 1-3.

    Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

    Your logic has failed. Throwing a match or lighter on diesel fuel will not do anything.

    I've lit diesel with a lighter before. It burns, just doesn't go woosh like gasoline does.

    You're a failure my friend. Diesel fuel is a terrific fire starter.

    Disel fuel is lignite by heat not flame or spark. It requires a high temperature to light it. At least this is what science says, if i am wrong than forgive me

    Diesel is flammable. An open flame can light it. It takes a much higher temperature to light oil on fire, but it burns too.

    I don't care what science says. Hold a match to diesel fuel and prepare to be amazed.
