I got mine from a Cornwell dealer I know. Any of them would have one on the truck.

I've heard that Autozone carries it. By the way the size that you need is E4.

The screws that hold your trottle body plate will work to remove the opti screws, otherwise you will prolly need to order/buy from snap-on. You will need a deep one to get to two of the screws, a shallow wont reach them unless you grind the out side down. But i wasent going to grind down a snap-on socket. Its a E4, most E-torx sets ive seen only go down to E6.

Here are a couple of options if Autozone doesn't work out for you:

Use a vice scripts with a throttle body plate scwer and carefully remove them from the opti. Napa prob has the reverse star or stars what ever you call them. I bought one from a hardware store here in South Dakota.
