Size of the torx bolts for the opti rotor?

I need the size of the torx bit that i need to take the opti rotor off.

Is it a T8 or T9?

Thank you

T9 is the correct size. Sears has torx screwdrivers in that size, couple of bucks. Don't have to buy a set.

find a t-9 torx screw at the hardware store and it will only cost you $.50
if you have an old q-jet carb laying around the top screws will fit the opti screws.

Use one of the throttle body plate screws as a socket.

How can you remove a T9 screw with another T9 screw?
