Parting out a whole lot of Boxsters

Looking for the MAF security torxs. Have any? Any thoughts on how to remove the two I striped?

Just replace them with a couple small Phillips head screws and be done with it. Nothing special about the security torx.

How did you manage to strip them out though?

Previous owner started the striping process, I didn't have much to work with. Off the top of your head, do you know what the replacement size is?

They really are not much different than a drywall screw.

Dremel a straight cut on the screw heads so you can use a flat screw driver to remove them. Replace with something else after.

Go slowly with the Dremel so as not to build up too much heat to avoid melting the plastic. Perhaps you can squirt with water as you Dremel the screws to keep them cool.
