how do you get the bloody maf sensor off?

[Phil_beeza]

last tie i tried the first thing i did was ping off one of the plastic bars underneath. the thing is still sitting there securely tho. will have another go in a sec!....

so i should be able to do this by finger pressure only?

not happening

i think i have revision 3b of the clip, which requires a bomb to remove it

can anyone remove the clip and take a photo showing the bit of plastic i need to press..!?

OK tried to take a the clip off there, but typical it wouldnt budge, had this off many times before, rain didnt help!!
but a pic of the unit here:

k mine looks like this.

seriously i've tried a knife, fork, wiggling it about, pressing it, lifting it, squeezing it

You can release them with you thumb. Place your thumb on the end of the tab and roll backwards. This lifts the front of the securing tab. Push the connector inwards whilst rolling the tab back this will release it, then withdraw.

right im starting to loose the plot with this *ing thing.

(much appreciate the pic!)

do i need to be trying to pull the bit of plastic in the red circle down from the main block? ive wedged pulled pressed everything and anything down up and it aint shifting.

 

[techie]

There should be an end on that piece of plastic, you need to pull that backwards to the wiring end of the connector.

hmm there was a small 'bridge' bit of plastic going across underneath at the nearest point of that lower bit.

it pinged off about 2 seconds after i started playing with it so now i just have two vertical sides....lol

yikes ive only managed to go ahead and bloody done it finally....

there's a bit of plastic clipping that covers over the real clip. think if i hadn't snapped off the covering clipping i wouldnt have been able to reach the clip itself.

done

now i want 0-60 in under 4 secs, yea?
