I was hoping to get this done today. Thanks for ant >tips you can impart. Loosen the big hose clamp where the AFM inserts into the rubber gooseneck leading to the throttle body (also of course the four clips and the bail holding the box to the side of the van). The upper half of the air box with attached AFM will now rotate and lift out. It's not difficult, so if things don't move it's because you've left something attached that shouldn't be. Remember to tighten the hose clamp when you put it back together.
