Anybody tried using hex head bolts in place of the reverse torx head?
What size bolt will I need?
The dealer wants $7 each for these

and then don't forget to reduce the torque on the bolts!!

The pass. side came off in less than 3 minutes this way, instead of the usual 30-45 minutes using a chisel.
