As the spray arm on the top rack is not spinning. Even though it is getting water. After I take the spray arm off how do I take the screws out, or can I just twist the whole thing? The screws are not something I`ve seen before. Please help. Thankyou, Cathy

You should be able to pick up a set with half a dozen Torx sizes and a handle at any car parts supply or hardware store. I have a small set that cost me about $10.00. They are very common now on cars, appliances etc. Try to get a set that are hollow in the center. Some devices now use a security Torx bolt. The Torx indent has a pin in the center so a standard Torx will not fit into the bolt head. This type is very common on computers. Here is some more info on them.
