BEST way to clean MAF?

[Scott_95GT]

Hey guys. My MAF has seen cleaner days, and I was wondering the best, least harmfull way to clean it. I have heard many different methods, and have done a search already. Brake cleaner, carb cleaner, electronic cleander, alcohol w/ a q-tip, ect. Any consensus on the best way to do this? Thanks.

Spray it with electronic cleaner - don't touch it - it's too easy to break.

I've done the qtip a few times.

Q tip with TB cleaner or electonic cleaner. Its really not that hard to break unless your retarded. Just be gentel.

Q-tip and windex.

I just spray some electric cleaner over it for a couple seconds. The residue evaporates almost instantly. No mess AND I don't have to take the whole thing apart. Just spray through the screen. Oddly, with my mileage, my MAF has always been quite clean.

This is my method for cleaning and my thoughts about it as well

I'd take it apart and use qtip. It takes about humm 1 minute to remove and put back on, id qtip then let dry though then screw her back down...torx bit and 3 or is it 4 screws?

Qtip, rubbing alcohol or windex.
