Default MAF etc...

Howdy gents. How does one get the MAF out of it's mounting place ? Seems like it is really in there tight.....also, does anyone know what the other thing is that's in the airway (lower part of the air passage that the air cleaner fits inside of).....it has wires going to it but looks like it does not unplug....it is on the bottom part of the air cleaner housing. It is close to the left fender where fresh air enters the cleaner.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT....should have checked YouTube first....Would have seen that the thing in lower part of air assembly is the MAF ! Now I know....still don't know what the smaller thing is in the rubber accordion part is ???

Most likely an air temperature sensor, you going to clean your MAF?

This guy? It's the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor.

The IAT you can pull on, the MAF you can't.

Didn't your grandpa ever explain that to you?
