Default What torx size do I need for Serpatine belt tensioner ?

Hello everyone , I am in the process of replacing my timing belt
on my 2004 Volvo s80 premier (2.9 liter 6cylinder With twin turbo)

Youtube Videos are saying it's a T60 , but T60 looks too big,
and Volvo dealership won't say......

if worse comes to worse I will just buy a t50 and a T55 bit ......

any help on this matter would be helpful....

ok thank you ,looks like a tight fit so I will pick up one of those tools
I've seen the people use, and pick up a set of torx bits ,since it seems to be used
a lot of times for the bolts.....
