    Hey, so I ordered new side rails for my Curve 8330 off of eBay because my old ones are extremely scratched. However, i do not have the T5 or T6 screwdrivers. Can anyone suggest another method to unscrew the screws??

    Only if you want to scew up the screws...

    You might be able to get an allen wrench to work, but you could end up with stripped screws, then you'll really be screwed.

    I picked up the T5 and T6 drivers at Sears for about $8.

    Couple of caution notes:

    Opening your BB's case/housing voids your warranty.

    The T5 screws are very thin and easily break if too much torque is applied, both loosening and tightening. Take it slow and easy with them.

    There have been many threads lately about people who have changed their housing and or loosened their side rails when changing their housing and have ended up with a non-functioning headset/earphone connector.

    you can always run to your local auto parts store and pick up a small kit of bits and a driver for usually 9.99 and will come with T5-T10
