Question New to me..........................

[Gino]

Doing a 2020 ford explorer hybrid interceptor. Need to remove the front outer door handle and after taking the access plug, there's no allen screw in there anymore. It's a round bolt like object and no way I know of to grip it to loosen it. Anybody have any clue ??

Now, it might look like

it has a hex head or something, but it's perfectly rounded.

gm used something similar to these. This is what I used for them.

Then replace with a standard bolt.

Well, it's not perfectly round. My he socket must've been used too hard. Outta desperation, I tried a new one and got the screw out, but only the handle came out and not the locking portion. Got instructions and whatnot from 2 different dealerships and it looks like the whole inner door must come off to get at some mechanism. How frickin' dumb is that ?? Called a body shop friend of mine and he's coming over later this morning to help us out....... before we break the danged thing.
