Torx head to remove MAF

Hi
I want to clean the maf with electrical cleaner and a cotton bud, but can't get to it!
I've removed it connected to the plastic tube, but can't remove the meter using anti tamper torx heads.
What tool is it ?

It's just a torx screw with a hole in the middle

 

The screws for the maf housing aren't torx heads, I believe they are 5 spline not 6. I used a flat blade screw driver when I took mine out to clean it.

 

I used a dremil and cut a slot and used a flat head screw driver.

I'll try modifying a flat head, if not will leave it

If the maf is not faulty I would leave well alone, but that's just me and loads of Mar issues.

I tried to make the tool and gave up, have now re assembled

Sorry what I meant was to cut a slot on the torx screw then use a flat head screw driver to un screw

 

Sorry to hijack your thread a little, but what's the benefit of cleaning the MAF?

 

I was trying to copy Jojo 's tool, have aborted it now as threw my toys out the pram.

I was hoping it would make the tick over smoother, but I think it's the split pcv pipes.

Doh, thought you had made it super accurate with a dremel ! Another fail, choo choo, all aboard the fail wagon
