99 powder special carb boot

geberhard · Sep 29, 2009

Replacing the carb boot on my brothers 99 powder special. Does any one have any tricks to make this easy?
I did this on a zl I had and it was a pain in the ***. Maybe thinking it would be easier to pull the airbox and replace it that way.
Maybe pull the carbs? Just thought I would ask before I start it here in a couple of days.

Thanks

Gonna be the same. Not much difference under the hood between the two.

I did the airbox to throttle body boot last year on my 99, and pulling the air box wasnt that bad as everyone says it is to be, if you have some patients and bite your tongue the right way it will go back together with out much problems

Super easy to remove the air box to do. Took more time to clean the air box then anything else.
Thanks for the help.

It looked harder to do untill you start ripping into it and it all just falls apart.

Yeah, last time on my ZL I left everything together and it was a real pain.

I would remove the airbox and then replace the boot. Once you have it removed I would remove the screws securing the cover to gain access to the inside of the airbox once inside you can remove what they call a resonator this is secured by tabs that secure into the airbox. leave this out when you put the airbox in and it makes it much easier to install the boots onto the Carbs/Throttle body because you can get your hands n the airbox and make sure your boots are seated correctly.

Hope this helps if you have any other questions give me a call
