2nd attempt to post this Q.
My neighbor has a '06 Sportage with a V6. We are pretty sure the (original) battery is dead and are going to replace it. We can't figure out how to remove the air cleaner intake hose assembly. There are a couple of plastic body panel "screws" that hold it to the forward crossframe. Do I just cut those (they don't screw out) then replace them with generic plug/screws once the battery is replaced?
