Hi everyone,

I am trying to remove my Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to clean it out but am having trouble. The two screws holding it in place is the regular hex/star design, which I have the tools for. However, there is a little cylinder like piece sticking up in the middle of the star that prevents my tool from inserting into it.

It seems that I need the star/hex tool with a hole in the middle in order to unscrew this particular screw.

Any idea where I can get it? Or what it is called?

I'm sorry if it sounds confusing...I can take a picture if you want. Just let me know. Thanks for your help in advance!
