Hello All,

I have recently started getting a p0102 error code on my 2002 Buick Lasabre. So I thought I would pull the MAF and try to clean it but when I looked at it I see these funny looking screw heads that appear to be a tort screw with a raised point in the middle of it that prevents me from taking it off. I have looked around for a tool like it but haven't found one.

I'm wondering why it'* there and how to get them out.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You need what called tamper proof torx bits. Can be found at any auto parts store.

Torx T-8, T-10, T-15, T-20, T-25, T-27, T-30, T-40, T-45 are used in a hex screw driver or wench to insert or remove tamper proof security screws. These bits are made from black alloy steel

$5 at amazon...

Thanks to everyone for the info. I had looked at Auto zone but didn't see anything. I'll keep looking

If your looking local, try Lowes, Sears or anything big box store that sells tools.

100 Piece Security Bit Set

This is what I have. It ended my battle with stupid a long time ago. And it'* on sale too.

I'll try Sears.They usually have a good selection of tools.

Thanks again everybody.
