Default MAF Removal

Im changing my spark plugs before seafoaming and i want to know how i take off the intake piping to get to the spark plug cover plate. I looked for a DIY instructional but couldnt find it, i was told i needed to take out the entire snorkel box and intake piping to get to the plugs, i tried but i couldnt figure out how to take off the MAF, anyone can give a step by step or a link to how to i would really appreciate it. Thanks. Btw its a 92 Sc4

It should be bolted do the frame, with 2-3 bolts, and attached to the intake hoses with little clamps.

do you have any instructions to take the intake off? i must be looking at something other than the MAF, from the metal part of the piping up, is that was im supposed to take off for changing the spark plugs or am i supposed to take the entire box out?

Take off the black plastic elbow between the throttle body and the MAF.

dude there is plenty of info on how to do it. if you cant remove the maf maybe you should leave the job to a friend that knows what to do or a professional. you are lucky you have a 400. us 300 guys have to take off the intake manifold to get to our plugs
