Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Silly question about air cleaner removal from fender

[Silver Bullet Ram]

I am upgrading to a cold air intake filter and when I went to remove the air filter, the bolts had strange looking heads on them, What size and what type of socket do I use to remove them?

Would a 12 point deepwell work? I don't know what size, though. I took mine off long ago, so it's not too tough.

They are plastic like nuts they dont have regular threads that screw down they are just barbs like on a fuel fitting that a rubber hose goes on if that make sense.



they also are attached into the airbox.



I had the same problem with mine I just kept turning them until they got loose then put a pry bar under the box and popped them off.



Hope that helps



what kind of intake did ya get

Those funny looking bolts in the fenderwell stay there for the cold air intake box, mine has rubber grommets that slip over them. So don't toss em, you might need em!!

I used a six point socket to get the nuts off.
