I have a ProFlow MAF. Having some problems with pinging at high RPM's when the car gets warm. I'm cleaning my K&N now and I want to clean my MAF. How do I do so safely?

Thanx!

The MAF element is secured by 2 screws & has 1 wiring connector. To clean the element, remove it from the MAF housing and spray it down with electronic parts cleaner or non-inflammable brake parts cleaner (same stuff in a bigger can and cheaper too).
 
to remove the maf element you will need a tamperproof torx bit you can buy them in a set t10-t40 at any autoparts store the size you will need is t-20 tamperproof torx bit these torx bits will look like a regular torx bit but they will have a hole in the center of star to accomodate the pin in the center of star on the screw. i used carb cleaner to clean mine it worked fine.
