Replacing the Lower intercooler hose

The intercooler hose has two parts to it! Years ago I replaced the upper part, and now I’ve replaced the lower part. It’s fun teaching yourself new things.

Install Instructions

Step 1: Remove the grate.

This is a surprisingly difficult step. You’ll need an allen key, star key, flat head screw driver, socket set and a pair of pliers to get the grate off.

Step 2: Remove headlight.

This step is much easier than the previous. The headlight has a few screws to loosen, and then one large plug to remove. Set the headlight aside.

Do everything you just did in reverse and tada! You’re done.
