When changing out the tailgate cables
spray the lower Torx bolt
with your favorite penetrating oil
and let it sit long enough to help out
as one of 1995's snapped off EXTREMELY easily
with little torque as it was unscrewed
and I suspect that
the factory air wrenches may have
over-torqued them,
similar to the way
many of the OEM sparkplugs have been too tight
