Long story short, i just bought a 96 Civic DX and the MAP Sensor has gone bad. Now i was just curious if you need to remove the air filter box in order to swap out the sensor and if so how do you go about doing so. I attempted to try but i found that removing the bottom piece of the box is a bit difficult. Any suggestions?????

 

my guess would be yes due to where the tb is,
the bottom can be pretty hard, i just wiggled and pulled and mine popped right off.
