Intake installation problems

I'm having problems installing the stillen intake. First, I have not been able to remove the MAF sensor connector. I'm afraid of breaking by putting too much force and it won't freaking budge. Do I have to hold down on the green tab?
Decided later to go around the MAF and just leave it connected, now I can't remove the bolt that attaches the top of the air filter box to the throttle body. WTF?? Did they use cement on this freakint bolt. I'm using a regular screwdriver. Was I supposed to use an electric one or should I just try harder. Need help please.

Well, the intake is installed and I was able to do it without disconnecting the MAF sensor.
My Stillen came with a hole at the top by the Stillen logo and their instructions state that you're supposed to plug in the Ambiant Air Temperature Sensor (AATS), I don't see one. There is no plug left over. Does this not apply to the 99 Maximas? Should I just plug it up and what would be the best thing to use?

Why, because you have poor grammar? I don't see how that makes me an imbecile.

Dude, why are you wasting bandwidth saying stupid things, instead of helping out fellow members.
I don't make grammatical errors, If I did it was because I was typing in a hurry with grease all over my hands.
If you're not going to help, why don't you go do something better like delete the whole 1/4 mile thread again or something like that.

Try pushing inward on the tab and then pulling the whole plastic plug out. Yeah, those plastic clips are a pain sometimes. The bolt should come off...keep trying.
