Door latch bolts not releasing - increasing torque settings on PGT to break torque

Latch bolts on FGS cover proving too much for the PGT. Will try stepping up torque

Now moving on to the FGS replacement, the last major task of the mission. And with this I'll sign off and go to work.
Okay, thanks for the coverage!

Breaking torque on the A latch with the ratchet.
Now 2:12 into the EVA so still well ahead.
