do you mean the IAT sensor? because if so I used a flat head screw driver and patience. It wont come out easy just work with it...take a break...work some more...if you are indeed talking about the maf loosen the hose clamps and wiggle lol.

I wouldn't recommend using lubricant to get out the MAF. You don't want to get an oily lubricant all over electronic parts. That's a no-no, and that's why you have to buy a special cleaner to clean your MAF.
If the hairdryer doesn't work, what a lot of people do is put their lid in the oven at ~150 degrees or so for a couple minutes to heat it up. If that doesn't help, slowly increase the temperature - and I mean SLOWLY, like 10 degrees at a time - until it gets loose enough to get it out. You may need an extra set of hands. Don't turn the temperature up too high. You may damage the lid and/or MAF. Use some common sense here i.e. don't throw your lid into a 400 degree oven
