Honda Car Forum

I am new to this board and have a question.

My Honda Accord 1997 Owner's Manual tells me to:

"1. Open the hood. If you need to change the headlight bulb on the
passenger side, remove the radiator reserve tank and the air intake
duct."

Okay, so I look in the owner's manual and it doesn't tell me how to do
this. I need to replace the headlamp on he passenger's side and they
don't leave my big American hands enough room to get behind the bulb
to twist it out without removing the air intake duct and the radiator
reserve tank. The Japs must be laughing their butts off at us stupid
Americans because they made their car so that people just get
frusterated and take it in to the dealership and pay $200 to replace a
stupid bulb. I am getting mad as I write this so I will just ask the
question.

WHAT do I need to do to remove the air intake duct, step by step? Do
I just pull up really hard? I am afraid to start experimenting
because I don't want to break the thing off. I just need to get
enough room to replace the bulb (no the high beam). Any and all help
is mucho appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Joel

This isn't a "board". This is Usenet. You're just viewing it through a Web
portal.

It just pulls off straight up. Wiggle a bit as you pull. There are two
little bulges on the sides that lock it in place, using friction.
