You can certainly remove the whole airbox. There are four rubber isolators. One way up front, one close to the wheel on the frame and the two facing you that you can see with the fender liner removed. You'll have to rotate the MAF tube a couple degrees after unscrewing screw at the bottom Be very careful with the plastic tab on the MAF tube. Is is extremely easy to break off if the tube isn't fully seated when you install the screw. The MAF tube is easier to rotate if you loose the snap clamp at the top and from the throttle body. This is easiest to do with a Clic-R hose clamp plier.
thanks a lot for all the tips i will be paying attention. I will try first with the ratchet of course but i am sure its impossible, the first drawing i uploaded show best the issue its really a huge angles , and maybe i don't remember well but its more two angles to go around i don't know, next time for sure i shoot a video, i will wait the new jack and the ratchet. I do have some click r hose pliers. these aston filters are important to be kept. I will well push down the tube and make sure i can screw well.
maybe i could unscrew a bit the air box to see if i can move it around to make my way to the 7 th screw too?

look at this drawing, the second drawing i tried to picture your ratchet i wont be able to go on the right side much and then on the left side as first drawing, not sure the air box in the db9 is as inclined
as mine and as deep, the plate on the right impeach any movments, only an articulated screw driver maybe able but i could not.
i need to go up on the right side 4 cm and then turn on the left side at 90 degree angle.
again,.
you were right something is seriously off, sorry.
how do you like the quickjack? mid june they have the 5000tlx availablem i am wandering if i will buy one, need to redo my floor before.
I found a place to rent a lift and tools onsite. 17 e an hour
even better i can go to a local village town 7 kms away and use their lift there they said ok. i will know next friday when, good news.

At 17e an hour, that's a lot of hours before you'd equal the price of a Quick Jack. Sounds like a good deal. Do they offer any tools as well?
yes look but finally a 7km away garage is going to get the car with me around they accepted the package....lol...a great guy who helped years ago with my car battery and was very concerned and super helpfull, i am lucky they are here. i will shoot some videos you will see me almost "sewing" with a flat screw driver back the 2 meters gasket into the airbox and cleaning them fully....things people will be interested to see from the dealer as well as lubricating the door seals cause aml create their manual for other people in the universe...

otherwise look its a serious deal, with a guy there that is tecnician to assist too in case, tools, well done and they got bunch of great google feedbacks,
so its another serious option but its a one hour drive. it be a good idea for the us, not sure why it doenst exist.
its the first arrived during the week and appointment on saturday.
guys i want to clean the maf sensor unless you think i should change them, do you think i will see surprise after doing so like a code appearing , i mean a dashboad signal etc...or i rather not touch them? should i clean them or change them, they have 40 000 kms as the tecnician in valencia changed them with spark plugs and throtle bodies in 2017.
