Thanks KUCAK for that link; better to find it now before I start than be stuck in the middle and looking for a reference to it here as you did!

Do you happen to recall what size torx socket I need for that bolt? I suppose I should make sure I have it before digging into it tomorrow. Also, one of the responses to the thread you linked me to said something about the torx heads being "reverse"; are they reverse thread? I wouldn't want to bust them off by trying to turn them the wrong way!

Thanks again ...
