Re: Stripped Torx screw on Nut kit reatainer

Yep, that little screw is one pain. Sorry you had so much trouble.
I ended up bending a short 90 on a Torx 30 screwdriver then beat the end with a hammer to swell it to a "30 1/2" so it would fit snug because the 30 size is a little loose. I also wire brushed the loctite off the screw before installing it because I believe there's plenty of residue still in the hole.
I agree with the picture instructions. If mine goes out again before anyone elses, I'll take some pictures.
