Default Remove air cleaner back plate 08 Heritage

Reference 08 Heritage. Changing cables and trying to find out about these plastic inserts in the breather bolt. Not in the parts manual or Clymer. What are they and how to remove.

They just pull out. They direct the crankcase vapours to the carb or throttle body throat.

Yeah you pry them out. There will be odd looking bolts underneath. Also you'll have to unscrew the standoffs to remove the plate.
