Any tricks to release plug on the right side? Pinch sides on the left and pull on the right side on the soft plastic? Where the arrow on the left is does that stay fixed and only the right side comes off?

I've never been able to release mine either - I usually unscrew the 2 x torx head screws and pull the MAF away from the inlet pipework.
Must be getting weak in my old age.....

The underside of the connector has a tab. Press / squeeze the tab while pulling the connector off.

Both are good suggestions. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. I did get it to release! I heard a snap (the tab) and was able to pull it off. Much Thanks!
