Question

got the air filter box lid off (which houses the maf ?)

got the two bigger bolts undone (kinda torx heads with a dot in the middle) but this doesnt seem to allow what i presume is the maf out (but allows it to rotate).

there are 3 smaller torx head bolts (again with some sort of anti tamper dot in the middle) on the next layer down. do i need to undo these to get the maf out. if so HOW ? is there a special tool ?

please help. pics can be provided (digi camera chargin as we speak.

HELP...

to answer my own question (thanks to the skills of frustration and brute force) - once the top 2 bolts have been loosened with molegrips the maf levers out (held in by a rubber ring)...
