I don't remember exactly, I do remember it will **** you off until you figure it out though.

I believe that you have to pull out the retaining clip and then you will have a tab to release to seperate the two pieces.

I'm sure that someone will chime in with some pics that will illustrate it for you soon.

Hi John -

WTF? Why are you fiddling with your maf plug at 4:00 am?

You have to pull the white plastic locking piece out first, then you can remove the plug from the maf.

You should have called me last night.....

best regards -

Cool -

Just look at the plug - there is a white lock thingy that is stuffed in the plug - puill it out and then it will come off.

Wow - not sure about your drain of the coolant -

Call grim and ask -

Also - just drive to Fl and we'll all change the diffs out together - we'll get the stuff the EG recommends - pizz on that $27 chizz......

I have darts tonight - you need the manuals?

best regards -

I had the same problem, but the experts from the forum got me through it as well. Thank God for the Corvette Forum members and Digital Cameras. This place is great
