You need an inverted Torx bit. Now if you're cheap, just remove one of the screws that hold your top plate on your throttle body, get some vice grips and theres your inverted torx bit

Yup... and I would start with the top plate on the throttle body... I didn't actually know that matched up.... but when I needed to take my opti apart I looked in EVERY store in Huntsville, AL and nobody had the inverted torx I needed so we had to use a bolt with that head and vice grips, worked like a charm... I would save yourself the hassle and just do that.
