   bit confusing but i think you mean the bolt on the opposite side which is difficult to get to. i used a torx bit but used a spanner to turn it as there was little room to move. the problem you may find is the torx40 bit maybe 6.5mm so difficult to find a spanner that size - i used a 10mm torx40 bit and a 10mm spanner and that done the trick!!!

   spray them with wd40 leave for 30mins, use a bit of bar and hit the screw/bolt square and straight a few times, spray more wd40 on it, leave for 10mins and then try
