I took my air box off the Norge to get a look at the stepper motor to get a better understanding of how everything is plumbed and I have to say it was a real pain in the butt to get out. It seems the snorkels for the tb's are glued in. My first instinct was to pull the snorkels first as I assumed they were formed with a lip of sorts and would just pop out. So how is this problem solved for easier removal?

Hi Bob,

the snorkel is at the top of the airbox and can be removed quite easily. I think you are referring to the "cast" ram tubes that connect the TBs to the airbox proper. these are lipped and can be taken off though they are better left attached to the airbox and take them off the TBs - a bit (OK a lot) of a fuddle but doable...
 
As Tony sais, pull the tubes off the TBs. Don't lose the hoes clips, they often fall somewhere that you can't get to.
Also watch out for the drain tube rear LH of the airbox.
It is a tight fit between the top frame rails, and it can help if you allow the wiring harness to move a little.
 
Thats basically what I did and it is definitely a tight fit. I just thought maybe some one came up with a different disassembly method, so it is what it is then.
