If my memory is correct mine is a 3/4" (not torx), but its a '92. If yours is a torx, just get the right size bit and put it on a breaker bar. I had to do that with some of my suspension components.
It wasn't hard to remove and change the adapter o-ring, but I think mine is still leaking a little. Not enough to worry about though.
My bolt had a small o-ring on it too which I didn't change. Probably a good idea to do that at the same time.
