How do you remove hood on a 2013 xm.

Procedure's in your owner's manual along with a lot of other info.

4 shiny stainless torx bolts. one on each side, two on the top. Unplug the dash, just pop it out and take the plug out the back of it. There is also a little clear hose(I believe on the right ) that needs to be popped loose. Be careful when you lift the hood after you take out the torx heads and you will see it. Probably good advice to look in your manual while you are doing it but this will get you started.

BTW, at first I hated that you had to unbolt the hood to get at the pipe but after doing it you have such huge access to the engine it is worth it. I'm going to shorten the bolts on the side so they are quicker to take out but it only takes 10 minutes to get off. First time the Y-pipe install has been so easy.

dont forget to disconnect the rubber boot/coupling (PTO side) connecting the hood to the air box.

also make sure you disconnect the vacuum line to the upper air box do you dont break the nipple

Any of you notice a bit of a gap between the rubber airbox boot and the intake tube at the top when everything's been re-assembled? I've tried adjusting the tube, the boot, the upper module but still end up w/ the gap.

Oh, and I'm glad this thread was posted because I never even saw the little black nipple when I pulled the upper module off and would have just left that clear tube dangling
