BTW, has anyone seen the wierd screws that are used to keep the cover
on the oven?
They are Torx but with a difference. There is a tiny but very strong
spike right
in the middle of the hole in the screw where the key fits. SO in
essence, to remove the
screws the right way, a Torx key with a hole in it is the way to go.


Security Torx




Harbor Freight sells those bits.

On my Nissan sentra,I encountered two 5-lobed security screws,at first I
thought it was the usual 6-lobed Torx.Fortunately,the screws had an
integral washer that was thick enough for my mini-channellock pliers.
the screws were on the Mass airflow sensor/housing.
