HCF Removal & MAF Clean on V6?

[zlasterhazzard]

Hey guys I was planning on doing the MAF cleaning and HCF removal, I have seen all the instructions for the HCF and MAF's on the V8 runners. Any one know of a thread showing how to get to the HCF and MAF on the V6 or care to post some pics to help me out. Thanks

Only thing I will add is be careful what you use for the cleaning, there is a coating on the bore, and you don't want to harm this coating.

hope this will help you

here is where i posted a video on the MAF. It's really simple. I have not deleted my HCF filter but will look around and see what I find.

I have a V6 and removed my HCF, it was easy and took maybe 10 minutes. I used a wood chisel on the plastic rivets with a light tap from a hammer, they popped off real easy. I used a chisel because it was sharper than a screw driver or putty knife but I suppose either would work too. Some guys say to cut a whole in the middle and rip but I wanted to preserve the filter, just in case.

MAFS cleaning, CRC Industries - Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner that you can find at any auto parts store for about $7. The can is enough to clean a lifetime of MAFSs.
