Angry Dang IAT sensor and grommet in stock lid...how to get it out?

to the IAT sensor and grommet in the stock lid!

How did yall get them out when you switched over to a aftermarket lid? I tried to pull it out w/ needle nose pliers (one the SIDES of it), and it will barely budge.

I liked to never got the dang MAF out of it, that took heat!

Thanks!

Lightbulb Seems like I used WD-40.

Sprayed it liberally, let it sit, and then finagled w/ it 'til it finally came out.

I also think that I used a little bitty screwdriver to coax it
out - seems like the grommet came out w/ the sensor.

I do remember that MAF being a real beotch !!


I used anti-seize on it when I put the lid on - a little messy, but it sure comes off easy !


Good Luck !

P.S. - Didja check

That's just what I was going to tell you to do. Push with one hand, pull with the other.
