I've found CX ex boxes or at least the two i've done to be fairly easy to get off the bike and take apart . I block them up with soft plywood, use hardwood rods driven by a three lb maul... and somewhat carefully beat ( the crap out of ) them apart. Typical, as things like this start to give a little in one place, I keep shifting point of impact one side to the other. sooner or later
they will fall apart as if it was easy...
PS. I had one on a j yard bike that I really smacked with a couple 2x4s expecting to damage it. I just wanted to fill the pipes and box with water to measure their internal volume(s) (guess why Reg
) Surprisingly, all beating it good it seemed to do was loosen a load of internal rust leaving the header and box AOK.. when they fell apart.
O.T> P.S. Does Anyone know the internal volume of a stock 82cx500 airbox. I need a aprox figure from the butterflys through the box it'self to the cold air intake boot edge.
