i was looking at my MAF today, the actual sensor itself, not the tube. it is held in by two torx bolts with a dimple in the middle. i belive its a t-20 size but that dimple prevents me from getting a bit in there enough to put any kind of torque on it. anybody have any suggestions as to removing this part or cleaning it without removal? if i have to take the tube out i will.

 

nevermind, guess i need to consult the technical articles more often.
