Front Breaks Question

Does anybody know what size torx you need to take the front calipers off a 2005 T5 awd?

I keep buying them (T40, T45, T50...) lol At least I'll have a nice set of torx by the time I'm done.

No, sorry..But at least you should be getting close to the right size, considering how many you have bought!

I thought the same thing every car I have ever done breaks on was allen!! It's Not. It's defiantly a torx.
You know the crazy thing is the back breaks are allen also the calipers on the back are the kind that the piston has to turn in the fronts are not.

Thanks for the help guys!!!!
