I was trying to fix the passenger door droop today (of about 1/16-1/8 inch), which annoys the crap out of me.
But my two T40 bits were too long (when attached to a ratchet) to get in there (the outside came loose just fine). I need to get all 6 screws loose to properly position the door.
So ...does someone make something like a right-angle T40 wrench ...or something? Is there a special T40 door tool?

Stupid questions..maybe.. Haha, I'm getting a front locker soon, my question is this. Will it be okay if I leave the front locked for awhile until I get the rear locked? No damage will be cause by just having more traction towards my front wheels? Next question. The RC tie rod upgrade kit says for 4+ inches of lift. Is it okay to run it on my 3 inch lift?

Aussie! Unless another is recommended. And no I don't wanna do any conversions. I was just going to upgrade the tie rod and ends.

My bits are round on the bottom? Do they make something else.
...I'm feeling pretty dumb right now.

I'm planning for an Aussie up front, too. It won't hurt anything; only help, and it's only active when 4WD is engaged. A locker doesn't change the relationship between your axles; just the sides of the axle in which it's installed.

Wait.
I get it ...the light finally went on, and I stumbled out to that bits box that I hardly ever even look at. T40 bit nestled all snuggly inside.
Damn: I did not think of those ...
...forgot all about 'em: I always go to the socket torx. Heck. There's actually a kind of adapter in my Gear Wrench box, that - looking at it now - I suspect will do the trick just fine.
...gawd I hate being stupid.
