Please help me!!!
I am trying to remove the stock air box like everyone said to do and I am finding difficulty removing the MAF from the intake tubing. I can see the long screw that clamps the tubing to the MAF but I can't even get close to losenning it, how do you do this with the ic piping in the way. Damn Buschur for sending it without instructions, its embarresing but I have tinkered with it three different times and still no good...
HELP!

An impact wrench is a pneumatic wrench.(air powered)
I did not use one on my intake.
Be very very very careful not to damage the honeycomb on the MAF.
Not to be a smart-*** but...
Lefty loosey - righty tighty.
I had no trouble with my deinstall/install.

LMAO ...
I was just wondering if their is another way to detach the stock airbox from the intake tubing and then take my time and comfort in removing those 4 bolts on the inside? I am trying to lossen the long screw on the clamp that hold the MAF to the plastic piping and I just don't have enough room, does anyone recall what size and tool you have to use?
thanks...

Hey, what happens if the honeycomb is a little damaged?
Will that affect performance at all?
