Just wondering, I have tried several things but nothing works for the screws that hold on the cladding, not sure if they are called torque screws. Anyone know what and what size?????

I had a regular shaped allen wrench that did the job just fine!
Be careful though , as you can strip them. Tighten them up as tight as possible with out it just spinning around with no tension.
Use a regular style allen wrench that fits, take it slow and you'll be fine :)
:rollo2: I have tried allen wrench etc, just need to know the size to get, the ones I have don't fit, would prefer the torque wrench but just not sure what size.
They "ARE" called torx screws and you can get torx sockets for a socket wrench that will work fine. There are more torx screws on the VX than just the cladding, so a set might be a good thing to have if you are the do-it-your-selfer.
:goof: Alright, thanks, I knew what they are but have a few of the wrong size, I will just get a set.
Torx wrenches :D
I highly recommend a good bit set with a flexible driver and a magnetic bit extention to go with it. That one tool is so versatile, I use it more than any other.
Here's one from Sears for $10. Hard to beat that package. It's not Craftsman, so no lifetime warranty.

My set came with a driver more like this one, though: (item 00930561000)

For interior screws and such, a tight angle bit ratchet like this one makes that kit even more useful (item 00941716000)
