Maf sensor bolts were really tight, had to get someone to notch it and use a big screwdriver to get it out and it worked fine. Never had to take one out that tight, just annoyed it left notches in the plastic. Anyone else come across this?

Yep, mine was the same way when i was trying to install my intake....i couldnt get one of them off and then it stripped. Was so annoying, i had to drive to my mechanics and he was able to redrill it and get it out.

Were you able to get them out without any damage to the sensor?

This is where I'm inclined to use a shake and break or impact driver to remove them. I've had mixed success depending on the rigidity of the plastic.
