Supra Flame Arrestor - Removing

[MJHKnox]

Just purchased 2007 Supra with the Indmar 325 Motor. Doing some maintenance, clean up, and fluid changes.

Wondered how the Flame Arrestor comes off for a cleaning. I thought once I loosened the SS clamp under the arrestor, the flame arrestor would slide up and off. That's not happening.

It’s loose, slides right/left, but will only slide up 1/2 inch before something on the inside is stopping it from lifting off. I did not want to force it off and break something.

Besides the clamps, I noticed the smaller allen-head screws under the clamp - did not loosen them b/c I ran out of time tonight.

Thoughts? I'm attaching a picture.

Thanks

Just keep pulling, they get stuck on the lip on top of the throttle body. It will come off without breaking.

Thanks. When I get back to my house I will give that a try.
