MAF Replacement, pictures anyone?

I've heard/seen alot of people recently replacing their MAFs for 2000-2001 max and I have a 2k max I'm looking to do it on. I actually have a print out text walk through of how to do it but I'm not the most car savvy person. Are their any guides out their anyone knows of with pictures? I Tried to do some searches with no luck so far. I'm not looking to reflash/map my MAF for a while (Dealership required) but I was hoping to do the change out perhaps even today. I've got that and spark plugs I was hoping to tackle with a friend.

Anyway if anyone could help me or perhaps send me some additional information on it that'd be great. Just thought I'd ask around and possbily get as much information as I can before tackling the project.


Thanks.

All you do is unplug the sensor and then unscrew it out of the housing. It is a 5 min job if that.

or you can buy the MAF tube assembly and install it as one piece.

Just like Irish said you can replace the whole housing and the sensor since Nissan sells it as one piece. If you have just the sensor all you have to do is disconnect the mafs and unscrew the two screws holding it into the housing and very carefully pull the sensor out.
