Really stubborn n43b20 320i e92 MAF Sensor Clip

e92shazzy · 07-04-2024, 04:04 PM

This clip is so hard to take out, I’ve been squeezing it and wiggling it as much as I can but it won’t budge and it’s messing up my fingers. Is there an easier way to do it?

Unfortunately not, it’s a very tight fit as you’ve found out and is one of the more annoying ones. If you have a couple of pry tools or smallish screw drivers you could try using them to push in (and lift/wiggle up in unison) the tabs either side.

Persistence is only way.
