    I would really prefer to not purchase it online. I don't have a hardware store around my area. Just Wal-Mart and Target.

    If they don't sell the universal screw drivers, which specific tools do I need to take apart the housing?

    Just the t5 and t6?

    But, I only use the t5 to change the housings, the t6 is for the screws at the bottom rails, which I dont take completely off to change the housing though,

    I got this nifty one at Lowes for under $10. It has eight sizes from T4-T15 and they store in the handle.

    I have never seen a set small enough at Wal-Mart and I keep a close eye on their tool dept.

    I have the same one Pltaylor has.

    I picked it up at Home Depot for $12.

    Radio Shack may carry them ae well if you have one of those nearby.

    Thanks for your help everyone!

    But...I got really impatient and Wal-Mart probably wouldn't have it, so I ended up purchasing one on ebay instead! Lol, it only cost $5...not bad right?

    Thanks for this info... now I'll know not to take off the bottom rail (rubber part, correct?) to change my housing.

    Yeah, you dont need too, did you get the youtube vid? I just pull off the top of the rails, and get under the clip on the plate and pop it off, Ive never taken the bottom screws out of the rails to change it.. dont pull the rails waaaay out tho, meaning back, you dont want to warp them or bend them, Imean you can if that makes it easier for you.. but Ive never done it.
