Name this tool: MAF removal
Trying to remove the MAF sensor without uncoupling the entire tube. Penta-lobed tool with a center insert. Does anyone know the name of this factory tool?

Definitely not security torx. Tried T20-T30 sizes, they do not fit properly. More pentalobe shaped. Any clues?

Torx plus security?



Note the 5 lobes instead of 6 for standard torx.

Hi Abby,

The correct tool is a T25 Security Plus Torx Bit. You can find the bits here:
