Help getting doors off a Cherokee
A neighbor is junking his 1994 Cherokee Sport and I've been raiding it
for any parts I need (1996 Cherokee Classic). So I want to change a
couple of the doors, and getting to those bolts with the star grooves in
them is real murder, and there's one that I can't even get loose without
bending the tools.
So have any of you had experience with this? Am I going about this the
wrong way? Is there any way to knock the hinge pins out instead of
messing with the star wrench?
Thanks in advance -
BS

A Lot of those torx bolts are glued in that needs heat to activate it to
loosen them.

I think you need an impact driver something like this.

Use the right size Torx bit and whack it with a bfh and the screws
should come loose.
