T-20 or T-10 that is the ?

This issue probably isn't worth mentioning, however, in view of the recent threads concerning MAF sensor problems, I thought that this might be helpful to some who are attempting to fix theirs . About a month or so ago, I was experiencing what appeared to be the onset of MAF failure . So, after reading virtually every DIY article regarding MAF sensor replacement, I noticed that every one of them unequivocally called for a T-20 tamperproof torx in order to loosen the bolts on the sensor . The funny thing was, at first I thought that I was loosing my mind going back and forth between bits (not to mention two trips to the local parts store), trying to figure why I couldn't get the correct "fit" on the bolts. Out of frustration I decided to try some different sizes, and lo and behold it was in fact a T-10 that fit my sensor . So, the moral of the story is, don't get confused like I did. Your sensor may in fact require a T-10 torx instead . It's a good idea to purchase a set of them. :ah:
