Question MAF removal help!

I can't seem to remove the MAF I've followed the steps in the following post: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-goodness.html

But I'm stuck at the last step. My MAF will not budge! The clips are removed. But yet, it will not move anywhere. The car has 176k miles on it so I assume it has not been removed before. The metal clip in the back is lifted & I proceeded to try to remove the MAF. it will not go anywhere. I tried twisting, wiggling & even pulling it but it won't budge. Am I missing a step?

sorry missing some words.
Just follow your links last four pictures with yellow arrow.
Pulling the two clips outward and pull up. It will come out easily.

I removed the 2 front clips, still nothing.. it's like something is holding it down but there's nothing else that can be possibly holding it down if the steps aren't leaving anything out. I tried yanking it up a lot of force and still nothing. I'm afraid if I do it too hard, something will break. should I continue yanking it up?

There has a spring clip at the back opposite the two clips.
Once the two clips are removed, pull it upward to release.

Spring or clip? I know there's a metal clip behind it, I haven't seen a "spring".
