Removing MAF element from housing

[Robbie C]

Had a search but didn't find any specific references that helped. Does anyone know what tool you need to undo the screws that hold the MAF element in the housing?

I need to remove mine to refit it into a LCR 3" housing but all the tamper-proof and torx heads we've tried don't fit properly. The torx screws have 6 splines whereas these MAF screws have 5?

TIA,

Rob

Its a special tool but you can do it with a twin pronged bit in a screwdriver or very easily with a pair of pliers or even mole grips.

You need a TS25 bit. Laser make them and they are available at halfords. Or as PJ says, use some pliers.

Are they not security torx?

The old units were security torx, but they changed them a few years back to 5 sided security ts25 bits.
