850 air silencer removal help...

[208_RMK]

So my sled fell off the sled deck landing on the handle bars, the steering post busted out the bushings and crashed into the air silencer box destroying it. I have everything to fix it (I think) including the air silencer box. Question is what's the best way to get to the air silencer box for removal and replacement? Remove the fuel tank or is there a trick? Thank in advance.

It’s the air intake, the parts book calls it an air silencer. The intake to the throttle bodies. I’m not with my sled til the morning I’ll take pics then. I really appreciate you looking at this.

No pics needed bud. Take the obvious panels and hood off. Take your secondary off. Put your console/panel that your knees always hit to the side and you should be able to get it out.

You got to remove the oil bottle and clutch guard too.
