Engine Air filter cover ??

[rclark]

the cover on my airfilter has 4 bolts you loosen to remove the cover.all but one bolt will unscrew . the one just turns but won't unscrew.how do i get it out ???? its a john deere 135. any idea's would be great. Thanks, rod

You will have to either pull OR push on it while trying to turn...Apparently the opposing threads are not caged and are turning with your bolt... sometimes pushing a fastener to the side will give it a chance to grab enough to remove...
Once you have it out you can then see what is needed to capture the threads & prevent a re-occurrence... Secure all 4 ... :smile:KennyV

GOOD ... Now, while you have it off, repair the problem so it won't get you again next time you need to remove it.... :thumbsup:
