need to get a #27 tork the correct size. Leave it to HD to use an odd size.
This way you are more likely to strip the head and bring to them to fix.
More money in the moco pocket.
use an extension and smack each bolt with a hammer as you turn it.
This will normally break them loose.

well - you could always use a 20lb sledge hammer. The would open a hole but may have interesting side effects.
Get a good set of torx bit for a 1/3" socket drive. If they are tight, hit um with WD40 and wait a day. If that does not work, apply EXTREEM pressure and replace the bolts. Some n00b put locktight on um.

Ummm, I could be crazy but the '07's don't have inspection covers!

dramsdale, no i wasnt refering to a air impact,,,,,
there are hand held impact hammer ratchet type.. socket goes on one end, then hold the impact tool, hit the other end with a hammer, the impact action forces the bolt to turn slightly. they are common, and help break the seating action of bolts

I can get the 27 Torx and put on a rathcet set, not sure about the combo impact hammer - I was hopping to do this by hand, would this be in reference to an air tool ? Maybe as mentioned earlier is a correct tool and a bit of heat I would be good
man - this forum is amazing - for info and the speed you get responses

Forget the impact hammer and the extra heat. The torque on the Torx screws is 84-108 inch pounds. They may have LocTite on them, but you don't need any sort of impact or extra heat to get them out.
What I used was take a T27 Torx bit (one of those interchangeable 6-sided ones that's about an inch long & is used with other bits in a set with a single screwdriver handle) and a ratchet with a 1/4" socket.
Put the Torx bit end in the screw and use the ratchet & socket on the other end to loosen & remove the screws. This will easily provide more than enough torque to remove the screws and eliminates the possibility of rounding out the Torx holes in the screws.
(You'll likely hear a loud "tick" as the screw breaks torque- this is normal.)

Wasn't trying to snipe your last post Rick (I think we were both typing at the same time anyway) but like the OP the idea of using air-impact sorta set off my red alert. My bad...[X(]

our local hardware store sales T27 torx bits in a bin on the counter American made 1 dollar each. i have 5 extra now. plus on the advice from someone here i bought an electric impact driver. works nice.
