Those 2 T60 Torx bits can be a PITA to remove. Use some PB Blaster and let it soak overnight before removing.

PB Blaster is a penetrating lubricant, you can get it at any automotive store, prolly hardware stores too.. Invest in it, it will save alot of work in the future! You will come to love it... Just dont get it in your eye.. doesn't feel too good ( I have experience... )

Mine were so rusted in I and my torx is a 3/8" drive so I ended up buying a 1/2" - 3/8" adaptor and using a breaker bar to get it off and it was still a fight.

Go to walmart or a tool store and pic up a Dremmel multi purpose tool, they can saw, drill, grind, sand , polish and all kinds of other usefull things. good tool, not very pricy and easy for anyone to use good luck !!!
