V6 MAF Mass Air Flow Sensor

[duckyjp]

I am having what appear to be classic symptoms of a dirty MAF sensor on my 97 V6. I am about to take it off and clean the contacts but the only how-to article I have seen is of a 4 cylinder so the pictures don't help much. I was about to just take it apart and figure it out, but i figured if someone else had pictures of the MAF sensor apart or a how-to, it would save me a little time. How different is the MAF sensor on the V6 and will I be able to figure out how to get to the contacts?

Thanks!

This link shows a different MAF sensor than the one in my 4runner. Anyone have any tips on cleaning the other type of MAF sensor?

This is the MAF sensor. Unless your talking about the intake sensor? coolant sensor? etc.
