Default Need some Air box removal help

So I have removed the 10mm bracket bolt and disconnected the wiring connection for the air temperature senor.
Question is, what is the trick to remove the air box from the MAF? Tried lightly prying it off and can see there is tab holding it on.

You have to tilt the airbox up, as far you can. Should just be enough to split it off.

rotate the MAF forward(clockwise) to release the tab.
you need a very long phillips head screwdriver to loosen the clamp.

loosen the hose clamp on the other side of the air flow sensor and turn the sensor as it bayonets into the filter housing box to release it. The key to easily reinstalling the box is to put the box and the air flow sensor loosely in position then bayonet them back together by turning the sensor and locking it in to the filter housing and then tightening the sensor's hose clamp.

What he said, glad you succeeded..!

For Non/PreVarioram owners, here is mine.. You can just make out the left-most Jubilee Clip; there is a corresponding one on the right of the MAF..
