Default tamper proof torx screws

does anyone know the size of socket/screw driver required to remove the tamper proof torx screws from the retainer that holds the feed/return fuel lines to the outside of the plenum?
Thanks Mark

Default

At least on mine, the Torx is not tamper-proof. It's regular Torx. T-27, specifically.

Default you're right

i used a mirror and shone a light on it using a magnifying glass to confirm.... mine is not a tamper proof torx screw either.........went to auto parts store before it closed and bought a set of 1/4 drive torx sockets but now I know that I need a T27 torx
Thanks Leeanne
