MAF screws stripped help

[k0walski]

so i was gonna clean my MAF with some electronic cleaner today and i find both the torx screws are nicely stripped :angry4: my question is where can i get 2 more screws? would pep boys have them? i have a kit to drill out the old screws i just need to get replacement ones

They don't have to be torx bit screws. Just get any old screw in the same thread pitch.

x2. no need to replace with torx again.

x3. however, you can clean the MAF without removing it from the housing

Yes.

Are you using a regular torx bit or do you have the needed tamper-proof torx?

i have the tamper proof torx. the one with the circle on the middle. the screws themselves were stripped
