Thanks for the add to this forum!

I am new to the Spyder, but am really enjoying it tremendously.
We just bought a 2008 GS.

it appears to have a small oil leak coming from somewhere around the water pump.
while I had the Tupperware off trying to see where it was leaking from, I noticed that both intake rubber boot flanges are dry rotted and cracked.

I have ordered the new flanges. My question is how hard are they to get to?
i have had the top off of the breather box, but I am pretty sure the whole box will have to come out.

has anyone changed these yet? Do you guys have any tips or advice for me before I start tearing into it?

Thanks for your help!
