NOTE: Take care when handling the MAF sensor. Do not dent, puncture, or otherwise damage the honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF sensor. Do not touch the sensing elements or allow anything, including cleaning solvents and lubricants, to come in contact with the elements. Use a small amount of a non-silicone based lubricant on the air duct only, to aid in installation. Do not drop or roughly handle the MAF sensor.

Release the air cleaner housing front latches. Remove the retainers holding the resonator to radiator core support. Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector. Remove the clamp from the MAF sensor at the resonator. Remove the clamp from the MAF sensor at the air intake duct. Remove the MAF sensor.
