How to get to the afm?

[knore]

Just doing some maintenence,

Ive done some searching but cant find how to actually get past the screens (without braking them) to get to the AFM itself for cleaning

Anyone know how to get to/take out the element properly?

There is a little rubber ring around one side.. pull that off.. and then get a screw driver to prize the edge off carefully. I got it off that way without major damage, but did bend it slightly but you can bend it back into shape.

Should be able to put the mesh back on it later or just glue it back on. Personally I don't think having the mesh on or off made any noticeable difference.

the mesh is sealed in under the R32 GTR AFM's, you haev to remove a section of the plastic 'lip' to remove the screens. If you do this, be careful that you don't leave any plastic bits loose - make sure it is well cleaned up and clear of loose items.

Isn't the mesh only on one side?

Go in from the other side.

in an original AFM on r33 gts-t it will have mesh both sides.. unless one has been removed..

z32 is both sides as well i think.

I don't remove the mesh to clean them, just spray it with brake clean, never carby cleaner it leaves a residue.

Only 34's have then on one side maybe late models of r33 as well but not early ones

Thats what i thought, but surely physical contact with brake clean etc would clean it better?
