It's worth spending time to scrape all dirt, paint and rust out of the Torx head as step one.


To what benefit is it to spend one millisecond cleaning/scraping a torx bolt just to remove or tighten it?
Tighten? did I say tighten?...I think NOT... all torx removed are tossed into scrap metal bins and customers are happy to pay for new fasteners. Headlight adjusters don't count. they don't strip.
