Yep, now that you mention it I do recall they have a pin in the center so you would need that security torx bit or you'd have to grind off the little nub. I mention the alternative part because it is cheaper than the OE assembly and available from the dealers. I believe it is made by pierpoint.
A monitoring scanner will give you lots of good information and is cheap. I have one which interfaces with either a laptop or palm pilot and allows you to watch all of the sensors in real time. Sometimes one sensor is reading wrong and causes a code for another system so you can't always trust the OBD code reader to diagnose every fault by the simple code. I have one of the older scanners from these people:
