Hi Gang,

My new MAF is coming soon. I checked out my existing one today
to get aquainted. Did my homework and found that removing
the tube side with the O-clamp is a royal PITA even for Volvo techs.
Tried some but did not want to force it. Some say to drive a little
and heat it up. That still does not make it easy. Would like to use
a screwdriver of some sort to seperate the two tubes but may cause
a little plastic damage.

So the question, does anyone know of any other super tricks to easily
disconnect the two tubes without damage?
