Default Help - Does anyone know the size of the torx screw for the MAF sensor?

Hello; I am trying to remove my MAF sensor to clear it but I am not sure what type of TORX I should purchase and the size. I do have a torx set but it cannot work since it's solid and the screw is solid in the middle and hollow on the outside.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
F.

Yes, it's a T20 security bit. But a needle-nose vice-grips works fine... just grab the outer edge of the washer-like disk on the screw head. They're only into relatively soft plastic. You can even reuse the same screw with the vice-grip.

using the right tool for the job saves headaches in the end... what if breaks it? lol the bits are super duper cheap.

Thanks very much folks, I really appreciate it. I will however, get the set from Autozone and not mess around with a 'make shift tool.' With my luck I'll probably screw it up (no pun intended).

Thanks again.
