take a heat gun heat up the neck on the lid until its pretty warm (not melting)...shove the maf into the the lid...they are supposed to fit very tight

be very careful cause you can ruin the lid with a heat gun...heat slow and evenly

Are you trying to put the lid on with the MAF still on the car?? If so, take the MAF off, put it in the lid, put the lid on, then put the acordian tube, or smooth bellow whichever your using on the MAF and boom your done!!

I didn't have a heat gun but I did have a stove lol just crank it all the way up and hold it oh, id say 6 to 12 iches and just slow turn it. Once its warmed up just slowly put the maf in and twist it to slide all the way in.
