remove the single bolt and the clamp holding the rubber sleeve.remove the mad plug rotate to the left approx 160* slide it upward and outward. when the box is off the car theres small bolts along the edge.

I can make DIY if you want.... -btw watch the rubber grommets on both ends (under the box) since they like to slip when you lift the box

Perfect ! Thank you. My brain must be in idle mode as I've totally over looked the MAF connections.

Thanks again all!

The first time was a little tricky, you have rotate more than 90 degrees to twist it out.

Its easy to get it out. But puting back is more tricky. Ones you master that, takes 30 sec.
