Where is the MAF ?

[Mexplorer]

My truck is an Explorer 96 4.0 OHV , and i heard that needs to be cleaned every 25k miles, but simply i dont know where is it. Any help or procedure will be appreciated , thanks

It will be at the front of the air intake tube, near the air box.

Take a look at Dead Link Removed

Thanks Sir, i got the correct tools and did it easy. I have a question. For accident, i forgot to attach an aluminiun thing tha covers the MAF from the way to the Engine, an the engine was idling below normal (800rpm). I quit all and put again normally and the engine has the normal idle (near 1000, 950...)how that little metal affects the performance ? can i remove it permanently ?
