Default '06 Wide Glide air cleaner backplate

Hey, all!

I'm looking to put an EBS on my Wide Glide. Regarding the air cleaner backplate and breather bolts, how do these plastic things come off? Do I just give them a yank with pliers? I don't plan on re-using them, but I don't want to tear anything up either!

Thoughts?
TC

Grab it where the red arrows point and pull it off like a spark plug boot.




Ah! I guess that's what Harley-ish was sayin!

Thanks all! Turns out they’re rubber, not plastic, lol.
