MAF removal...

[Minnsy]

After my battery died with the cold weather, the computer reset all the averages and shock horror - I am now only getting 17 or so MPG...not too clever - so I figure clean the MAF... so I get the IPA stuff, and this afternoon set about undoing two screws, and the jubilee clip (thinking even I can do this...). But no, the lower, inaccessible screw just turns and turns (and this is after a liberable soaking of WD40 overnight).

Any ideas on what I can do next (other than not clean the MAF!) to get the blinkin' thing out?

Ideas greatfully received!

Cheers

hammer and chisel?

Got it sorted in the end...
Quite a difference - much cleaner pick up, in fact cleaner and smoother right through the rev range...as to the MPG - too early to say!
If you have not had yours 'done' I suggest you give it a go (if I can do it, anyone can..)

Cheers
