Why buy a single one? Save money on a set so you don't have to ask this question again.

I had a tough time getting those out. Not sure what the exact size is, but I found that a T40 seemed to fit pretty good. Soak em in PB blaster real good first, and be careful not to strip them.

no i do not remember the exact size

but your best bet is to get one of these

cheap and all...but it does the job for any torx hardware youll find on Efs
if not buy a better set

btw what happened to your break line? are you going to change the entire thing?
i was thinking about that the other day what if the line was to get fxcked up at some point of the chasis...

You don't have to worry about this if you buy quality tools.
