Here's another tip for ya. The MAF sensor has a little red clip that you pull back a little and the press the center down and it should slide right out

Here's a good tip I posted in another longer post, use if you ever have to take the lid off and put on again ...it works like a charm.


1st) Installe box with lid on, then after getting into postion I removed the lid,
tightend down box, installed filter, attached intake tube, then installed lid (insert
fender side first making sure the lid screw tabs were in the full open postion as
that's the only way they will line up for tighning in the box holes
..took a couple
of minutes of fiddling around. I used a small 3" screwdriver to tighten the
screws to give me a better feel to reduce slipping off and scratching the lid top.
