I just went really slowly and pulled with all my might, with the box and MAF off the car already. I never thought about heating it?

this happened to me too. i sprayed wd-40 all over it where it goes in then a friend of mine held the stock box and i pulled and twisted the maf out. two people helps alot. i actualy got most of my bolt-ons for free when the same friend wrecked his camaro and my lid came with the maf already in it..... the only reason i took my maf out of my stocker was to give it away to a guy who cleaned his maf out with carb spray lol.

Spray some wd-40 around the edge and then wedge a flathead screwdriver in there and work your way around.
