So I got the SLP cold air intake kit and I didn't get far installing it. I tried removing the air sensor thats on the right side of the the stock lid and it wouldn't come out. Id hate to brake it but I got to get it out to out to put on the new SLP lid. Napa has the sensor for like $12 but if someone has a trick for getting out I would appreciate it.

yank on it, it's sturdier than you think.

You can lube it up with soapy water to work it out. It may be worth it to just get another one.

I was pulling on it pritty hard but it went from totally frozen to moving a little. It probably didn't help I did my brakes before I started.

The only reason I didn't try to lube it my first try was because I was afraid to get anything in the sensor to mess it up, but Im sure MAS cleaner would work if I did. Ill try it again, hopefully it works. Thanks for the help

lube the sensor then when its out you can use the maf cleaner.

Pull harder should come right out,then another helpful tip,when you put the slp lid on,you might have to use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the end so it will go on easier

Take a small flat blade screwdriver and push in the grommet from one side to the other and work it out.

Seriously alot of them don't fit right. (Mine doesn't) I have tried everything and I can't hardly get it in the back anymore. I think my next step is to heat it up a little and make it fit. The bitch won't listen when I spit on it anymore

I tried heat, lube, pulling on it pushing it and had other people try it as well didn't come out so I just bought a new one. What I think happened is the previous owner replaced it and pushed it in to far past fat outer ring on the sensor and after years its just doesn't want to move.
