Easyy as.
Two clips around the mass meter (assuming you know where it is!!!!), ping them off with a flat blade screwdriver. Throw them away.
Unplug the plug from the AFM and pull the pipes off both sides.
Pop two jubilee slips over the loose pipes and push the AFM into position (there is an arrow on the housing to indicate the flow of air - away from the airbox towards the inlet  )
tighten the jubilee clips, plug plug back in.

Why would you throw the clips away when it looks much better wit them than two massive jubilee clips
