Make sure you use MAF cleaner designed for EFI, NOT carb cleaner. Try not to spray any directly on the heated elements of the MAF.

you don't need to take it apart...just spray it in there, and again, make sure you use efi MAF cleaner, not carb cleaner.

Electronics or MAF cleaner doesn't always work, I would lightly use some brake cleaner and all of that junk will come right out.
