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...

Which screw are you talking about? Is it the one that clamps the intake hose to the air-box? If it is then just use a phillips.

But I seriously don't think you're talking about that clamp right?

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

Not always. There are electric and even 18v impact wrenches.
