Hoping someone can help me with this. I am trying to remove the MAF sensor to inspect and clean. My understanding is it is held in place with two T20 security torx screws. I have what I believe is the proper tool, but it just doesn't insert and seat properly in the screw so I can't turn it. My question is, are there special security torx bits that are required? Is there a way of getting these annoying screws out anyway? I purchased a set of bits off Amazon, however maybe they are just junky? Or can anyone recommend a place where I can buy a more appropriate tool? Help!
