I searched through all the relevant threads and found that the cover can be removed with a socket wrench and a flathead screwdriver for the pins, but one question others asked that was never specifically adressed was, do the pins break when they are removed with the flathead screwdriver, or will they be reusable?

Second, what type of K&N is used for the AEM intake? Does anyone know the part number? I'd rather just have two filters so I can rotate them in and out while the other one is cleaned.

 

I guess you mean the push pins & the 1 bolt to access the bottom cover to get the filter out? If so they are just push pins. They are reusable.

 

Cool, thanks. Does anyone know what the part number for the air filter is?
