31k Airbox removal

[guernseyrob]

Can I just ask if it's possible to remove the airbox whole without removing the engine? I've tried but unfortunately my front screws for the airbox lid have siezed so can't get the lid off first without butchering the airbox, which I really don't want to have to do.

If its any help I got my air box in my f2 with the engine in place . Had to take lid of air box and slightly distort the box to get it in ( sprung back to shape after). Would not go in without removing the lid and spacing lid though .

Thanks Nige, I might just have to be patient and wait until the engine is out.

I've stripped my 31K down and the airbox only came out with the engine I think, there was a thread in the last few days with the opp problem. Engine was in but airbox would not fit
