Spin lock East to remove?

[wawa]

I found a hard top close (~300miles)
I will drive there and install it on my 2000 Boxster S. Is it hard to take off the spin lock from the previous owner Boxster to install on mine? What size torx will I need?

Thanks
Chris

If you're facing north, you can spin the locks to the east to tighten. If you want to loosen, turn the car around so it faces the south. Then you can spin them to the east to remove.

Okay, I couldn't resist.

LMAO!

Yes it is easy as only one set screw holding each in, but it is very easy to drop screw, either a strong magnetic screw driver or the slider type socket (slides over screw as you back it out) for the screw driver bit works well too.

also two screws on each side to take off carpet to get access to the screw, the Pelican link provided above will show where they are.
