Bought a used MAF sensor still in the MAF meter housing. The screws that secure it are torx type. Only problem is, there is a pin in the middle that would obstruct the torx bit from seating. Where do I get a bit like that and what size is it?
Thanks

Pep boys has them too.
Out of curiosity, why are you removing a mass air sensor from it's housing?
