HI sorry I couldn't get the torx screws out of the back off the yellow clips is there an easier way to change the cable

The inner door frame is riveted on. If you cant get a tool on the torx by sliding the window up and down then you will probably have to remove the inner door frame. Getting the yellow clips off is a must. Usually there is a stop crimped on the cable that locks into the slider clip thereby moving the window up and down with the cable.

Curious whats in the cable kit.

Thank you so much was the kit of eBay for 25$ I'm wondering if there is a torx Allen key which could fit around the back 100 degree heat so I stuck a piece of pic pipe till I could get the right tool for the job the new kit came with two replacement yellow pieces so kind of figured the yellow ones would have to come off. What a pain I had a thumb driver but these torx were on solid. Any ideas of another way without taking the window out.

Get a small set of torx drivers (Harbor Freight sells a set of security drivers that includes a fairly extensive set of torx bits/drivers. Then get a ratcheting driver that these will fit into. You need the lever arm of the driver to get enough toque to the torx to break it free, and with one of these in the driver you can press in on the actual torx bit so it doesn't cam out of the screw and booger things up.

BTW - there is no such thing as a Torx allen wrench. Each is a type of wrench, they aren't combined.

Thanks Don , all appreciate all you help with this one this forum has always come to my rescue will tackle it again next weekend the heat down here didn't help my patience outside. I'm glad I posted so the next person can get his tools together prior.
