I've got the sensor, and the tube it comes in from the dealership. However the guys told me I could just remove the sensor by removing the 2 screws that hold it in, slide it in and out and I'm good to go, 5 min swap. So went out to my car and you need some special tool to take it off. The one you put on looks similiar except it doesnt have that center nub. Not sure if that is an easy tool to pick up some place or if I need to cut a little slit in it to use a phillips. I've taken a picture but it was at night so I couldnt focus and thus is blurry as heck. I've used MS Paint to "draw" what the design looks like. The new one like I Said is simliar, but doesnt have the nub/center piece.

Thanks

 

its a security torx bit. maybe a 20 or 25 iirc. you should be able to pick one up at any decent hardware or automotive store.

 

It is insanely common.

 

You will need a security torx-20 bit and Sears carries it.

 

I wouldn't say insanely....I mean I worked on my car and a few of my friend's car...never ran into a torx bit before until I worked on my MAF

 

Thanks guys you saved me alot of headaches!
