You can do it yourself but you will need a Torx T 20 anti-tamper bit/driver to remove the sensor. You will also have to get to the top of the motor by opening the convertible top half way, remove the carpet, then remove the motor cover. See photo below on what one of the Torx anti-tamper bits looks like.

I just changed my MAF sensor a couple of days ago . Here's the interesting thing, every DIY article refers to a T-20 torx as the correct size bit, when in fact it was a T-10 that fit the torx bolts on my vehicle . So, before anyone runs out the hardware or auto parts store to buy a single bit, make sure what size torx you have . Or, buy a set like the one Jager is showing .
