    MAF tool

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just got my new MAF but it came without the housing. Where can I get a tool to swap them. It looks like a allen but there is a pin in the middle of the allen screw. I hate to try and drill one out. Any ideas

    I know what you mean, but I have never taken those screws out But it sounds like you're describing a star stocket screw. Try looking hardware stores or autopart stores.

    You may be right though that it's a special tool. I tried searching on AW, but it has been down for me for some reason.

    Most people just use a vise grip to break them loose...and just use some regular torx bit's afterwards to reattach them.

    Otherwise the tool you need is a safety or tamper resistant torx.
