Can you get away with using a standard female torx socket or must I rip a new one and purchase the "special tool"? Thanks in advance.

I ended up buying the special tool after trying several torx and finding out they won't fit or reach the bolts. You can borrow mine if you'd like. You'll just have to come get it. PM me if you'd like to borrow it.

Thanks, I actually have a buddy with the tool after all so I will be getting it from him. Very generous of you to offer though and thanks for the insight!

No problem. I know how it is having to fork over loads of cash for tools you'll probably only use once or twice. Figured if I can't get my money's worth at least others can help. :)
