Security Torx Screws
Several of the threads have mentioned the difficulty of dealing with the Security Torx Head Screws particularly with MAF sensors. Some folks have tried interesting ways of removing these screws.
I found a inexpensive set of these tools at www.cvfsupplycompany.com. The price was about $8 for the entire set plus UPS.
Hope this is helpful.

Go to the local flea market and find the guy with all the cheap tools! They usually have a set in a plastic box or rubber holder with about 20 diff. typs of security bits. I picked up the set I use on computers for about $15.00

Security Torx Screws
I usually don't have a problem breaking out the center pin on the security torx; however, the ones they use on the MAF sensers seem a little harder and I've buggered more than one. Auto Zone sells the security torx bits, singles, for a couple bucks. I bought one just for MAF sensers. Trying to find a place to store the darn thing where I won't loose it is the hard part...

Security Torx Screws
Just get a decent set of Pin-in-Torx drivers and shelve your regular set. The 'security' set works on em all.
While your at it, get the Pin-in-Hex, clutch, spanner and every other security bit you can find and you'll never look at a sticker that says "Do not open. No user servicable parts inside" the same way again.
