How to remove Mass Air Flow Sensor 1996
Hi All, 1996 Collectors Edition LT4. Threw a MAF code. Need to clean the MAF sensor, however unable to figure out how to unclip the unit from the airflow intake hoses. Pic attached; clips on left and right side. Is there a special tool needed?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I took a small screwdriver and put it in the crimped section and turned it to open it up until it would come off the hook. When I put it back together, I used a needle nose pliers to squeeze the crimped section back together.

What I have done in the past is to remove the 4 screws in the 4 corners. Then it just comes apart.
(No need to mess with the clamps)
Be sure to get it back together as it came apart and be "careful" of the internal wires and resistor.
