Air filter housing removal

[bob/ft.worth]

How do you access the air filter? I see the six or so phillips head screws and see that the oil filler tube moves out of the way. But how do you disconnect the big fat tube. Anything else?

thanks!

Just to get really picky, the DIY shows the M6 screw as needing a 13mm wrench - in fact, it should be a 10mm wrench.

Sad, aren't I?

Your car must be unusual because my car and every other one I've taken off is 13mm.

Mine is definitely 10mm hex, which is the ISO standard for M6 thread. 13mm is the standard hex head on M8 screws. Either mine is unusual (maybe it has been replaced with an ISO standard screw) or Mr Porsche, in his infinite wisdom, chose a special screw for this application.

Wouldn't be the first time they have changed sizes with no warning. We've seen different size brake bleed, clutch bleed and transmission drain screws/bolts.
