MAF Replacement

I just want to know is it easy to replace the MAF on the maxima, or do I have to bring in to change it.

On a scale of 1-10, an eleven, you need an egine lift, and a breaker bar.































You could do it with one hand tied behind your back with your shoes tied together.

Yes, it is easy. Just take out some bolts, take out old maf, put the new maf in and put the bolts back on, but u might need to reset your ecu tho

I don't remember if it was a recall or just a TSB, but Nissan knows the MAFs suck.

Changing it at the factory should allow u to get the new programmable MAF's. dont get us started on that.
