   probably an old thread but im having real problems gettin these bolts out. its a stupid design using a torx head on them! used a lil bit of leverage and the bit just sheared off flush with the top of the hinge pin. anyone ever used an "easy out" ive read about em but dont know if i trust them or not? either way any tips would b appreciated cos im so close to just kicking the door off or gettin the ord' angle grinder out! cheers
