New, never been asked CAI Question

I don't think I have seen this question anywhere in this forum. Does anyone know the type of screw, size & thread, of those tiny little screws that hold the MAF in place? I 'm asking because I recently installed a CAI and the super well engineered Injen CAI had paint in the screw holes where the MAF is intalled. Needless to say, I almost stripped the head of the screws, so if I ever have to take the MAF off, like to clean it, I'd be screwed...pun intended. I'm hoping to get a new pair of screws somewhere.Thanks!

You must be talking about the Mass Air Sensor? Not sure the size or pitch but you can take one to a quality fastener place ( Real Hardware store ) or a good auto store ( not a chain store like auto zone) and they can size it up.

or just go to toyota and ask them if they have replacement screws.

If you just cannot find the screws to match do this. I have done this before...File grooves into the tops of the screws, doing so you will then make them a Regular type screw head for a Regular sized screw driver. Good luck asking the dealer!
