Default HELP C5 Newbie here!

I received my Blackwing today and want to install it but I have already run into a snag. Can anyone tell me how to get the plug loose from the MAF? I don't want to force it but I cannot figure this out. :banghead: Thanks in advance :cheers:

The white clip on top of the plug is not what your looking for. The clip that will release the plug is in in front, on the nose side. Get a small screw driver between the housing and the clip and release it from the catch. Don't pull on the wires, you will need to get the screwdriver between the housing and the plug and work it out.
