I've always had to struggle with these idiotic Torx bolts Jeep uses. Today I was trying to put mirror relo brackets on...I was warned before that the retards at the factory had lathered lots of Loctite on these particular ones when they installed them. It is now not physically possible to exert enough force on these cheap bolts to loosen them before they strip. No matter how I line them up or how hard I keep the bit pressed in (even hammering the bit in doesn't work enough), these pieces of shit just grind apart when I try to turn them. What can I do? They're not totally stripped out yet-I think I might just pay someone to spot weld a bar onto them and hammer them out. What other options do I have? It's a '99 TJ with no rust or anything in the holes. The Jeep is a great vehicle in the whole of its parts, but the details like this (and how cheap the black plastic on the interior is) are where it sucks!
