Wheel cylinder torx head studs
I am in the process of changing my wheel cylinders and have run into a snag.
GM used an torx head on the bolt. Does anyone have any idea what size head that is? As close as I can guess, it'* somewhere between a T-30 and T-40. I don't want to buy the wrong one since I can't exactly size it up at the store.
Help!

Mechanic Dan and I did this the other night. typically he said the sockets break, therefore you tap on a 7mm? I think and then remove it before the bolt is fully out.

I'm going out under the car to determine the size I have.

Jack the car up. Get the flashlight. Crawl under there. Take a quick look. Come out, look in the toolbox......
.......realize I loaned out my torx sockets to a friend across town.

Dang. No problem. I'll run up to Napa and buy a 30, 35, and 40. Which ever ones it isn't, I'll return.
Thanks anyway.
I'll post what size it actually is, too.
