You only have to undo two allen bolts and loosen 2 13mm nuts, make a gap between the mating faces, slot in and line up the blank (worst bit lol) then do it all back up.
If you've not done much work on cars it'll probably be more like a couple of hours including cups of tea, but it's not a bad job. I'd recommend sticking one end of the blank into the bottom of the gap first and using one of the bolts to feel when it's lined up. When it slots in, wind the bolt in a couple of turns to keep it all together, then do the same with the top as you swivel the blanking plate up and in.
On the maf there's a clip underneath. Don't disconnect it with the ignition on, but otherwise it's fine. The oldest HDis immediately pop the eml when you disconnect the maf, but as soon as you plug it back in and clear the code they're right as rain.
