Default Removing MAF (How To?)
Hey guys,
I am in my garage right now and I am playing around with some air intake ideas, but I cannot get the MAF out of the factory air box assembly. All clamps are removed for what I can see, so how the hell does it come out? Any help is much appreciated!

Yeah, it was a pain in the *** to get off. Just keep twisting and pulling it out and a little heat wouldnt hurt as well.

Twist and shout.

Try not to crack/damage the lid though. It's a biznatch. Removing the IAT is hell too.
