Quick help needed
I just got my ebay intake, everything is fine but I need to knwo if there's any way I could just pull out the O2 sensor in the intake in order to put it in the new intake...
Otherwise, do I have to cut it? I don't want to break the thing...

RE: Quick help needed
Ok, so now just to get things straight, we are talking about the MAF sensor correct? Not the O2 sensor... The MAF sensor is a plastic sensor in the intake piping that is sandwiched (bolted) between 2 aluminum hose mounts. Be careful with this sensor. The screen is there for a reason and should not be disturbed. If it is removed, it will cause incorrect readings.
Now with that said, the MAF sensor can be a pain in the butt to get out of the couplers. When I put mine back together, I sanded down the aluminum and used some silicon on the inside of the rubber peices to make pulling everything apart again easier.
You can try working a small screw driver between the aluminum and the rubber, but do not carry it over the edge to try to pry the MAF sensor out. It'll come free.
