the torx head is just there for looks pretty much haha, you have to either beat it out with a hammer, or use a press, i used a 3 jaw gear puller first, that didnt work to well, then i used a ball join press, which worked perfectly!, this was of course after breaking a t55 torx bit, then realized it was pressed in

We just heated it up till she was good and hot then beat it out. We tried beating it out cold but was bending the bracket.

I used a pitman arm puller to press mine out after the BFH method started bending the bracket, popped right out. If you have an Autozone store near you they have a loaner tool deal.
