Removing map sensor

[Kchristmas]

I've bought an upper inlet manifold and had it powder coated so I can do a straight swap, removing the inlet seems easy enough although the only thing concerning me is the map sensor. I assume this is the one on the left of the inlet as you look at it?

I need to remove the map sensor from my old inlet and put it on to the powdercoated one but I've seen a few people mention them breaking on removal. Is this due to them being brittle? Which part usually snaps? Would being gentle remove it without breaking?

Map Sensor is fine, air temp sensor (grey on right) can be a pain but will still fit with 1/2 tabs broken

Cheers, I've got a spare air temp sensor so that's not a problem! Does the map sensor just simply pull out then?

Yes mate. Just pull. It's only held in with two of rings which is weird

Yeah. Spray some wd40 in to act as a bit of lube for the o rings and it'll come out easier. Not absolutely necessary though.

It's under vacuum so it'll not pop out mate.

Aye that's true!

lol. I totally cocked mine with the slightest amount of force. Just make sure your pulling 100% straight... Trophy had not bit me for a while so I think it was just one of them days.

I got it powder coated in a bright silver with a silver flake pop in it, looks great in person the pictures don't do it justice!
