I need HELP PLEASE! I'm installing my AEM CAI and have gotten
all the stock stuff out. I need to bend the bracket that holds the grounding wire.
But that thing is hard to bend.
Here is a picture of what i'm talking about.

Use a 12mm socket and some elbow grease and just remove it. Relocate the ground wire to the right (I think) of that spot. You should see the new spot.
BTW: you do this from the top.

When I installed mine, I just removed it and it fit back in the same location when I was done...check to see if that works for you.

Thanks All! I managed to fit the tube in without any relocation of the bracket
( i fished it in from the bottom to the top).
I set everything back in place, except the hoses.. the hoses are
installed on the intake, now i need to place them on the engine...
do i need to remove the stock (smaller) gray one from the engine and replace it completely with the given one, or just
attach it to the stock one. How do you get the larger on without cutting it? Thanks in advance!:)
