First remove the plastic radiator cover on the front of the engine compartment using a flathead screwdriver and a pry tool. Use a screwdriver to pry the center nail of the push fastener upward about half an inch. The pry tool will then be used to fully remove these four panel pins and free the plastic panel from the body.

Next remove the air temperature sensor from the stock air tube, being careful not to harm the sensor. Set the sensor aside at this time, it will be re-used later.

Loosen the metal hose clamp that attaches the air tube to the throttle body and remove the stock air tube from the throttle body. Loosen the clamp that holds the tube to the Mass Air Flow (MAF) and disconnect the stock tube from the MAF sensor. Disconnect the MAF harness and the air temperature sensor harness. Remove this tube from the engine compartment completely and place aside. Loosen hose clamps attached to MAF sensor, remove from engine compartment. Place the sensor aside, it will be reinstalled later.

CAUTION: Be very careful when handling the Mass Air Flow sensor. Do not dent, puncture or otherwise damage the Honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF. Do not touch the sensing elements or allow anything (including cleaning solvents and lubricants) to come in contact with them. Do not drop or roughly handle the MAF. Remove the rubber gasket, this will not be reinstalled.
