The two screws/bolts that hold the MAF to the air filter housing isn't the problem. It's the other end of the MAF with the clamp. I loosened the clamp all the way but I couldn't pull the plastic hose off of the MAF. It isn't budging one bit. I tried twisting and pulling. Am I doing something wrong?

Use a hair drier to heat the hose and it will come off nice and easy. Pry on the plastic and it might tear. Pauli

Sometimes pulling hoses off of their nipples is a bit like a Chinese finger puzzle - the harder you pull, the tighter it grasps the nipple. Try removing it with one, or two if there's room, small screwdrivers prying up from the end of the hose. That compresses the hose and causes it to increase slightly in diameter.
