I am swapping motherboards on a T43p.
Which is the best tool to use to remove the two hex studs that attach at the parallel port?
Thanks
Brad

You can use a socket screwdriver for those hex studs. I think a 4 or 5 mm one would do it. You can find them in kits from Radio Shack like this one:

Thanks for your replies. There does not seem to be much room around the studs to fit any tool.
I ended up using pliers like PW suggested.
Thanks for all your replies.
Now if I can only figure out why I have two screws left and a strange rubber piece.
