what tool is needed to remove the maf sensor? ive tried my tamper proof torx bits and none of them seem to fit..where can i get it and can i rent it at autozone or advance?

 

Pretty sure all you need is a Phillips head screwdriver...

 

The last time I looked this was all that I needed.

I always like to have a spare Oring around as well just in case

 

not thread jacking on purpose but wcs, where is the best place to get those. my autozone does not have them that mall and im sure the one i lost is affecting my idle

 

I have gotten them from a plumbing supplier for free, but they don't seem to be the same quality.

The last few I purchased from Mazda. I think they charged 9$ cdn each.

 

he might be asking because some aftermarket intake systems use a allen key (AEM/MS for one) instead of the oem phillips screws. I too never found the "right" size in my toolbox, but a small flat head works just as well.

 

Ahh yes you might be right.
Well if this is the case the OP really needs to think a bit harder about his posts "ESPECIALLY" if you are going to start a new thread.

 

My maf is secured to my aem maf tube with Phillips... I think... Hmm

 

interesting, mine came with short hex screws like this:

 

Yeah I just used the stock screws on my AEM intake as well. Phillips head.

 

yes my bad i should have specified.. i have an aem 485r intake and it has the same screws as paimon.soror's

 

allen keys, found at most any hardware store.

 

what size? t5 t10?

 

 

Jeez, you sure your ready for this job? It's not a torx bit, it's a 4mm allen key I think.

 

t10 - t5 + .5 - t

 

thanks just bought one at advance

 

Treat the maf gently. Search a little and you will find what is the better cleaning chemical/stuff.

 

get a whole set and you will be good.

 

The size that fits . If you have to ask this ................................. never mind .

 

he was still confused because those are torx bits numbers, and still wayyyy too small.
