Any of the 400E/500E500 folks have any tips on removing the MAF? I have replaced all of my vaccuum hoses except one that appears to run to the TBA. Need advice.

Um, ok. Have a new throttle body to Maf seal ready to go back, it will be hard and brittle. Use a 7mm swivel socket to get the worm clamps loose. Use a paper clip to hold the spring clamp open to get the new hose on.

I had to use one of those flexible snake things, with a screwdriver bit on the end of it. I couldn't even get the right angle with the swivel socket to loosen that metal clamp.

It's a giant PITA on this motor.
