Default How do I unplug the Maf? I see the plug sitting on the top of the hitachi maf but..

The clip is difficult to pry off. I see a clip lock on the side of the plug and one underneath it that is pretty big looking. Can anyone give me some tips on how I should pry these off to get the plug off?

Default Wow i tried like hell to remove the maf plug. I pushed it in a lil, then used a flathead sd to pry

to pry up the sideclip, and when it was fully pryed up i was wiggling and pulling the plug like crazy, i could not for the life of me get it off. Am i doing something wrong here? it felt like it was still locked in even with the sideclip pryed up.
