MAF torx bit ?
Where can i get a torx bit that fits my MAF screws ? Its the "non tamperable" screws, so you can use a regular torx bit, it has to have a hole in the center of the bit.

Harbor Frieght or MSC Direct. Harbor Frieght is cheap but MSC has better stuff.

You can get them virtually anywhere. Look for a "security torx" bit. I believe it's a size 20.

I just took a small punch and broke off the security pin. Now a regular torx driver works

i bought a cheap regular torx bit and got a carbide drill from work.
and drilled a hole in the bit.
but i like the idea of punching the pin out better.
it sounds easier.

RE: MAF torx bit ?
since it's not a heavy torque issue....harbor freight is your friend
i have about a 20 pc set of "security" bits for about $7 from them
torx, slanted flat, you name it
i wanna say it's smaller than t-20 but maybe not
