I just had to remove my windshield hinge bolts to add my light mounts. I used an "impact screwdriver" and they came out without any problems. I smacked the screwdriver 3-4 with a hammer and then used a ratchet to removed the bolt. I ended up replacing the bolts with some SS 1 inch long 5/16-18 counter sunk allen head bolts from he hardware store.

Here is a link to an impact screwdriver.

EDIT* I didn't fully read golenjeep's post, but I'm guess an impact driver is the same thing.

Wow, true but...how often can everything go accordingly to plan in a perfect drilling world?rilling precisely and exactly on a bolt can be a PITA!Not to mention in his part of the rust world! I would suggest purchasing first an impact driver for all your torx head situations!There worth there weight in gold!:shhh:

They are rusty and do not look like they will being coming out easy so i want to prepare for the worst case.
So stupid question time, Ive looked at a few impact screwdriver sets online and none of them come with a torx bit. Did you just use a standard one from like a screwdriver kit? I noticed that all the impact ones are heat treated so im sure they are made to be stronger. will a standard one do that job. What size torx is it? does anyone know? maybe ill pick up a extra one just in case.

They have that exact kit at Harbor freight (i know) for 6.99 so maybe ill just pick that one up. I cant seem to find one on the craftsman site. Id rather buy a better quality one but all i can find is cheap ones. Did you use the one in the link you posted? Did it work ok?
and thank you for the bolt size, i also plan on adding some light mounts while i have it apart. I have some left over kcs from another jeep project that would look good up there.
