What has to come off to remove the air tubes and change the filters?

Seat............to lift the tank. The tank doesn't need taking off, just lift to each side to pop the airtube clips. Careful you don't let it slip though. If in doubt take it off altogther if you prefer.
The side fairings and the nose piece.
Unclip the indicators to. Connectors are under the headlamp mount.

Consider the Pipercross MPX038 filters. They seal far better, last longer and improve throttle response. About £20 a set, so only cost a couple of quid more than the OE items.

Its not essential to remove the airtubes to change the filters.Remove the fairing,disconnect the indicator,undo the retaining screws and seperate the two halves of the airtube

thanks fella's I pretty much realised that it wasnt going to happen without removing the cowl but wanted to check.
