Trying to get the cover off to change air filter, the 1svrew on the left hand side is just spinning? I presume the plastic lug has snapped.. I can’t get the cover off fully to get at it? Anybody else had this problem or could offer a solution? 

Thznkyou

Seem to remember getting to it from the other side.

Pretty sure the screws tighten up into a steel nut moulded in to the air filter box. Try as lineaway suggests to get at the nut from the other side, break on through to the other side.....couldn't resist. Anyway, if you can't access the nut from the airbox outlet stub the only other way to get the screw out is to carefully cut the head of the screw off with a Dremel type tool then you should be able to access the nut at least to remove the M6 screw. Good luck, Peter B.
