Thanks for the writeup.

Two things I want to point out though. Using a torque wrench as a breaker bar (I assume this from the picture) will ruin the calibration on the torque wrench and make it useless for its intended purpose.
Secondly, the proper name for those "star" screws is torx, just for future reference.

Extra bracing and less movement tolerance on the hinge for when the door closes, to stiffen the body, if I remember correctly.
