Give it a strong tug and it will come off. I had the same problem not understanding the fastening. The rubber boot is fastened into the air cleaner housing and deformed over the bolt head. There is another one under the floor of the housing. Trust me - a strong 'yank' upwards and it comes off ! Goes back with a firm push. I did it yesterday !
Sorry for delay - been out.
Yes - one allen key bolt. To be honest I took all the bolts/screws out and took the thing to bits first, then 'yanked' the whole thing out. Are you changing bulbs by any chance ?

Out again 'till teatime. Don't forget there are two of those rubber things, one in the bottom of the tray in the middle. I also took the two long bolts out by the electrical 'thingy' as well so the whole thing could move out of the way. Good luck - let me know how you got on. Cheers
Well i did it and sucessfully put it back together
There was one thing i wasnt sure and i left it as it was - there was a long thin pipe undernesth the airfilter box. I left it connected to the main box and wasnt sure if it needed to insert somewhere else from the other end??

Nice one - sticky little ****** isn't it ?. The pipe is just a drain in case water gets into the housing and is only fixed at the housing end. The open end just points down.
