I used needle nose pliers and kept wiggling it. You could always use a razor knife and cut the fadtory tubing.

Just pull with steady pressure and with a slightly circular motion. Be carefull putting it back in- much easier to break then. Ask me how I know.

I broke part of the hard plastic ring using a flathead, so I wouldn't recommend doing that lol, but it works.

If I recall, back from when I did it long ago, look on the factory tube, I believe there is a notch (kinda like on an aspirin bottle), twist until you line the two up and then pull out, should make it easier.

A warm engine is key and I have taken mine out at least a dozen times with some gentle twisting motions when I bounce back to the stock air box.

Why would you bounce back to the stock air box?

Mud and water. 15 minute job so no big deal.
