how to remove AFM

Just want to see proper steps to remove the AFM? Car is rough out of 1st gear and trying to see if replacing AFM helps out? Plugs looked good. Thanks guys. Hope to do this saturday to see if it helps.

two hose clamps on either side, the plug and four 10mm bolts on the bottom under the bracket.

how do you get to the bolts under the AFM? i looked very quickly due to weather and knew there was not much room to work with.

you should be able to just remove the bracket, there's 3 10mm bolts in it. either way it's not fun.

i have removed two screws and do not know how to get to the last screw? Knew this would be a little bit of a pita but didnt think it would be so difficult. any help with getting this thing changed? going out for round two right now to try. any help would be appreciated to getting this bracket off. the two screws i have off are the ones on the right of the afm.
