So the MAF is still stuck to the stock lid?

It took me a good 10-20 minutes to get that thing off... I basically sat down and held the lid between my thighs, I then used my left hand to hold the blow drier and used my right hand to do a twist-pull motion.. Mine was stuck on pretty bad :o

Good luck!

It can take a while, after tons of heat cycles the MAF get stuck in there pretty good, I just took mine and worked it for a long time and it came out without a problem.
