Jeff, you ever try to pull one of those doors?  The damned things won't
open
far enough to get a decent wrench in there.  I wound up using a thing
socket handle and a short Torx bit with a board behind it to force it into
the head so that the slight angle wouldn't let it walk out.  Real PITA
bolt, at least the two forward ones.  I left my grinding wheel home so I
was fortunate enough to have a new vice grip with sharp teeth that grabbed
the head of the last bolt to get it out.  The ones that went back in all
had hex heads - that's what I think of Torx!
