Default 981 Air Filter Removal Tool

Hi guys,
We had our GT4 just a few weeks before we first pulled the air filters out and replaced them with BMCs. At the time, we were really surprised at how difficult it was to change the filters. The hardest part is when it's time to squeeze the two clips together and pull the filter out with the o-ring that holds the filter housing in place. It's painful to hold them (the loops cut into your fingers) and very difficult to yank them out at the same time with no handle. And since the air filters on 981s (and the GT4 especially with the big air inlet scoops) get very dirty (so they're often being changed or shaken clean), we designed a little tool for removing them that we used to install BMC filters or replace the originals.



The tool made our lives easier, saving our knuckles and fingers, so we made a small batch of them for sale to DIY / mechanic / service shop types. You can buy the tool here:

Also we will be throwing in the tool for free with the next ten orders of BMC filters from our web site:

If you were thinking of buying some BMC filters, this is a chance to get the tool free. It will automatically be added to your shipment.

hey folks, I caught Dan doing an installation this morning on a GT4 at the shop this morning so he made a quick video installation guide for DIY'ers. Use it for any filter change (stock too) we just happened to replace 'em with the BMCs. As you can see though with only 6k on the ODO these filters were pretty dirty indeed!
