Default MAF sensor torx bit

I was going to clean the MAF on my 2001 mustang GT, but i notices that it takes a different bit to remove it. it looks like a torx bit, what does it take and what size?


Thanks

it's a security torx bit. Basically a torx bit with a hole drilled it the middle. I was able to find one at Orchard Supply Hardware and Home Depot. Goo ruk
