Default TRIED to replace my door stop...

What a PITA! I couldn't get an allen wrench on that damned 5mm bolt that goes through the stop's arm (on the door)!?

What kinda tool can get in there, without having to remove the door panel to get clearance??

Use a 3/8" drive hex bit. You can cut about 1" off the end of the allen and stick it into a six point socket with a bit of tape wrapped around it to keep in place. Use an extension to reach the socket head bolt.

If you don't have a set of socket hex bits buy some.

I have the 1/4 inch drive ball socket from SK tools. They are simply marvelous.

I do have a 3/8 hex socket...Guess I gotta get me a smaller socket drive. My 5mm allen socket fits right onto the bolt, but there's no room for my 3/8's ratchet to fit into the socket. Very frustrating. I had already removed my door speaker, and had taken off the 5mm bolts holding the stop to the door--only to put them back again.
