How would I remove this bolt? (pic)

I've always wanted to remove the air filter box to clean underneath it, but have never been able to because of this bolt. It's a Torx head and it's in a real tight spot.

If it were a Allen head, then I would just cut the end of a Allen key to get in there; I've done that before for Allen heads in a tight spot. But this thing is a Torx head; there's no cutting the end of a Torx key because they're only machined on the end.

If I ever do get it out, I want to replace it with an Allen head bolt. If I ever get it out that is. ;)

Carefully remove lower the air cleaner assembly (1) by pulling the assembly from the 2 rubber grommets in the engine compartment
You dont need to remove the bolt just pull.

What do you mean just pull? There's two bolts holding the thing on there isn't there? :?

No those are support posts and just pull off the rubber grommets. Give it a tug.
