The autoparts store doesn't have one. Think this is something Sears might have? I have a used AFPR, and no bit to take it apart and clean it with.

Try a local hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot. I got mine at a local home improvement store in Japan as part of a small set of bits for those interchangeable screwsdrivers.

Snap-on sells them.

OR

You can break off the pin in the center and use a regular torx bit, just like the dealership!

I can tell you right now that the bit for that sells for about $35 off of a Snap-On truck. Probably better off snapping the pins out.

I found them at a local hardware store. $5 These are not volume items, so Lowers & HDumpo is a long shot.

Every once in a while I find a very well stocked hardware store. Every area usually has one somewhere.

I bought mine at Big A Autoparts. I had to buy the whole set, but it was only about $10 or $12, and now if I ever need to take apart the divider walls in a public rest room, I'll be all set with the proper tools. :D
