SOME AIR CLEANER COVERS ARE BEING DAMAGED DUE TO IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES.

ATTEMPTS TO REPLACE THE AIR CLEANER AIR FILTER, WITHOUT LIFTING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSES THE AIR CLEANER COVER AND HOUSING TO MISALIGN. WHEN THE OVERCENTER CLAMP IS REFASTENED, THE COVER CAN CRACK OR BREAK DUE TO THE INTERFERENCE CREATED BY THE MISALIGNMENT.
