Air lid sensor

I am replacing the air lid with an MTI clear lid and need to transfer the air lid sensor and am having trouble taking out the old one. How do I remove the sensor without breking it so that I can install it on the new one?????

Re: Air lid sensor

I remember mine being hard to remove as well. I just kept messing with it though and it finally came out. I think it would get damaged if you pry on it with anything...

Re: Air lid sensor

When I took mine out of the stock lid, I took 2 flat screwdrivers, pried them in between the sensor and the rubber grommet, and gently pulled it out. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah... before I did this, I tried to pull it out with some craftsman robogrip pliers, but that only scratched up the little "hook" part of the sensor.

Re: Air lid sensor

If you have the patience/perserverance you could try to take it out or just buy another one-pretty cheap at the dealer-think it was about 15?

Re: Air lid sensor

I grabbed the lip of the sensor with some pliers and pulled like no other. Has to twist it a little bit also. I broke the part where wires plug in(the lip), but glued it back together. Hopefully it will still work, waiting for my lid to arrive
