Phillips screws are easy to cam out, straights are easy to slide off and cam out, allens can get rounded, Torex are just fine with me

 

Sounds like your problem is the overuse of loctite and not the torx bolts....

 

Wait till the go the way of european cars and start using triple square.

 

Yeah, it's easy to use the wrong loc-tite.

I know the saying..."Tight makes right", but there are limits.

Is cross-threaded still torqued?

 

Impact driver with the appropriate size Torx bit.

Then after that, NEVER use Loctite in derby cover fasteners. I put anti-sieze on mine and torque them to the lowest setting because of the reduced friction.

 

Worse yet!! The rear frame member of the TriGlide has two T40 Torx Tamper Proof bolts that have to be removed to install a trailer hitch. They don't even do anything other than hold a nut plate in place, that is used for mounting the trailer hitch. WTF...why security tamper proof bolts? What are they trying to protect? Do you know how many hardware stores, auto stores, and home improvement stores I had to go to to get the tool to remove these?? I found one at the 2nd Lowes I visited.

What a PITA!!

Oh yeah, I replaced them with a standard bolt.

 

Maybe they were trying to make it hard for someone to remove the mount and take the trailer, ball hitch and all.

 

Good point. Except I had to remove the mufflers to get to these screws. And didn't exactly slip off.

 

So a cordless sawzall would be faster?
