    I am new to this board and have a question.

    My Honda Accord 1997 Owner's Manual tells me to:

    "1. Open the hood. If you need to change the headlight bulb on the
    passenger side, remove the radiator reserve tank and the air intake
    duct."

    Okay, so I look in the owner's manual and it doesn't tell me how to do
    this. I need to replace the headlamp on he passenger's side and they
    don't leave my big American hands enough room to get behind the bulb
    to twist it out without removing the air intake duct and the radiator
    reserve tank. The Japs must be laughing their butts off at us stupid
    Americans because they made their car so that people just get
    frusterated and take it in to the dealership and pay $200 to replace a
    stupid bulb. I am getting mad as I write this so I will just ask the
    question.

    WHAT do I need to do to remove the air intake duct, step by step? Do
    I just pull up really hard? I am afraid to start experimenting
    because I don't want to break the thing off. I just need to get
    enough room to replace the bulb (no the high beam). Any and all help
    is mucho appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It just pulls off straight up. Wiggle a bit as you pull. There are two
    little bulges on the sides that lock it in place, using friction.
