After removing the plastic engine cowls by undoing the phillips screws marked in red
Marked in red you can clearly see the Throttle body linked by a rubber gator to the MAFSensor
Marked in white you will see the position of the 3 stainless steel clips that need to be removed as you see i have already removed 2 of them
Remove the throttle body by gentle manipulation , use of a little fairy liquid might help if its stiff, the power cable is long enough so at to rest it to one side
Here lined in yellow above are the two spring clips that connect the Maf sensor housing to the airfilter box un do these and let them hang down , also under the rubber gator lined red is a pipe union this can be left in place as the Maf sensor housing can be gently manipulated out ready to disconnect the electrical connector below
Note the hollow star shaped screws you will have to un do to remove the Maf sensor from its housing , worth checking before you start that you have one in the right size
Once the screws are out you can gently withdraw the Maf sensor making sure to be very careful , the O ring will make it stiff at first , but be firm and careful, inside are fine filament wires that are very fragile shown below
You can now either fit your new Maf sensor or as in my case give it a good spray with Maf sensor cleaner, and then re-assemble back into its housing , worth applying a the finest smear of silicone grease to ease around the O ring to make sure it goes home easily , also worth taking 5 minutes to clean the inside butterfly of the throttle body housing , it does get caked up a little in there. Now you are ready to re-assemble everything in the reverse order.
