Are you talking about removing the upper plenum? I believe there is a torx drive bolt in the center on the left that you have to use an extension. Or mabye its just a regular. I'm not sure but I know I had to go at it from the top with an extension

Unless you have a high quality tork set that are small in Diameter .
Go get a cheap set of cordless driver bits . You need a T40 tape that bit into the right size socket and using a 1/4 x 6 or longer extenion you can get it.
Good luck the first time sucks replace pcv valve while in there.

My bad....yes, you need a Torx screwdriver bit, not a 3/8"-drive Torx bit, unless it's the one made for this case (the "bit" part is ~6" long). I tape the Torx bit into a 1/4"-drive 1/4" socket and put an extension on it.
