Default TB Remove and Clean: MAF removal?
Gotta clean this bad boy sometime soon, however has anyone seen the wierd torx screws they use on the later model MAF'*? They have a little nipple in the center that prevents me from getting any grip with my torx screwdrivers. What special torx do I need? (I'll take pics if needed)

You need the security torx with the hole in the center. Try Home Depot or Lowes. Or any tool supply place. Hell, even Autozone probably has them.

They obviously don't want you to remove it.
