hex bolts (Item 4). Apply Loctite 243 to only five of the six stainless steel
mounting studs (Item 7) and install the five studs finger-tight into the
snorkel body (item 1) mounting inserts, excluding the front mounting insert as
shown. N.B: Do Not Install the front mounting stud into the snorkel body
mounting insert.
Place a strip of masking tape along the A-Pillar panel. Carefully install the
snorkel body (Item 1) to the guard panel. With the snorkel body correctly
positioned, mark the outline of the upper mounting bracket (Item 3) onto the
masking tape. (If upgrading from an SS86HF to an SS86HP, remove the 3 plastic
inserts from the A-pillar first, before applying the strip of masking tape to
the A-pillar).
Remove the snorkel body
(Item 1) from the vehicle, remove the upper mounting bracket (Item 3) from the
snorkel body. Position the upper mounting bracket onto the A-Pillar and align
the bracket with the marked bracket outline. Mark the three mounting hole
positions with a felt tip pen. (If upgrading from a SS86HF to a SS86HP, mark
the centres of the existing A-pillar holes onto the masking tape, the slots in
the bracket are there to allow for slight differences from the previously
fitted snorkel, depending on where the previously fitted snorkel was
positioned on the A-pillar will determine whether or not the bracket may need
to be modified by the installer).
Drill a pilot hole for each of the three marked hole positions in the centre
of each marked slot. Drill each pilot hole to 8mm diameter with a step drill
or 8mm drill bit. Deburr and paint holes. (If upgrading from an SS86HF to an
SS86HP, you will need to work out the required bracket position, if required
modified the bracket to suit, Do not drill any additional holes in the
A-pillar).
Install the plastic inserts
(Item 6) into the 8mm diameter holes in the A-pillar. Secure the upper
mounting bracket (Item 3) to the A-pillar with three self-tapping screws (Item

Using a 4.5mm drill bit, drill out the 3 pop rivets retaining the pre-spinner
section of the air cleaner inlet snout to the air cleaner base (hold the back
of the pop rivets with a pair of pliers to prevent them from spinning whilst
drilling out the pop rivets). Remove and discard the pre-spinner section
.
Using a 4.5mm drill bit, drill out the four pop rivets retaining air deflector
in the air cleaner base (hold the back of the pop rivets with a pair of pliers

to the air cleaner base inlet. 
Using a paint pen, mark a cut line around the base of the inlet snout. Using
the body saw carefully cut around the base of the inlet snout and remove the
inlet snout from the air cleaner base.
Using the body saw, neatly cut-off the remaining sections of the three tabs
removed in step 13, use a grinder, file, or sharp knife to clean up the three
tabs flush to the air cleaner base. 
Remove and discard the perforated inner section from the air cleaner template
(item 21) as shown. 
Align the air cleaner template (item 21) to the side of the outer air cleaner
