I'm replacing an AC hose on my 2003 Disco and just need a little insight on one thing. I have to remove the air cleaner assembly and was wondering exactly how it's attached. I checked the RAVE and it states to just remove the assembly from three grommets....

Anyone know if it's just an easy pull and replace or do I need to go under the front left fender and remove something from the bottom. Thanks.

follow this link its step for step!

 

Sometimes the rubber grommets come out with the airbox, just take them off and reinstall. It's also a good idea to put some lube (petroleum jelly, lithium, spit) when you reinstall it or you could push the grommets out onto the ground when you push down on the box

 

Exactly what I was looking for. Once again saved by the forum. Much appreciated guys.

 

Just unclip the clips around the air cleaner box.

Unclip the two clips at the round area.

If you are removing the MAF and tube, take off both hose clamps.
One on the manifold and one at the end of the MAF.

Taking the MAF plug out - don't damage it.

 

So, once you remove the old hose and install the new one, are you aware you have to pump down the system before installing oil and freon?

 

Yeah Mike I'm aware...thanks for checking though. I've already evac'd the system prior to swapping out the AC line. Will probably have the shop charge the system....just wanted to save the 200 bucks to swap out the hoses.

 

I hear that, just makes sure the shop puts in the proper amount of freon and oil and the sticker under the hood recommends

 

Thanks again Mike. I appreciate the heads up!
