You will see that there are 2 funky screw-heads that attach these.

Hi all,
I'm having the toughest time removing the side scoops. Does the special nut turn counter-clockwise for removal?
I haven't tried the passenger side yet, but right now i have the rear driver's wheel liner and intake removed. Any tips?
thanks,
Steve

That was already referenced above, along with 2 other links
I am in the middle of this too. I cannot get a good grip on these darn flower shaped special nuts that Honda used. Recommendations?
It took me a few hours of messing around with mine to get them off. I used an open ended wrench "I forget what size". I think for one of the flower nuts I stuck the wrench on with one hand, made sure it didn't move, then switched hands because the angles strange so only my one arm would fit that way, and then I moved them just enough to come off. They aren't on real tight.

Okay, I just did that and it worked. Thanks! :smile:
There are two fasteners- it's a big aluminum nut (22mm). You will need a 22mm closed end wrench to loosen them. If it is factory-installed, it will be on there pretty tight. If you remove the side skirt, and rear wheel liner, you'll have pretty good access, but in either case it's a tight fit to get your arm in there. Once you undo the nuts, the scoop just lifts out.
