thanks Bob, external torx is what it's called. I'll have to match up a regular torx bit with it to figure out what size it is.

This is still a Torx bolt, but you need a female instead of a male
driver.
Usually a regular 6 point hex socket will fit, but Camcar/Textron
is famious for having its copywrited/patented stuff a special size
os nothing will fit really well without buying one of their special
driver/sockets. .
Provided this bolt isn't rusted of otherwise frozen in place a regular
socket should be able to remove it. Then go to Lowes or Homly Depot
and get a regular hex head bolt to replace the one that you took
out.
