Default What size torx?

I'll be replacing the half shaft/axle assembly on the pass front side in next week and I need to know what sized 12 point torx bit I need to get the assembly off the transmission? It looks like a 12 (at least it's about the size of my six point E12 socket) but I'm not sure. Anybody know?

Any other special tools I might need? Tips/tricks?

Man I've looked everywhere. I need what looks to be about a T50 or T55 with twelve point star instead of six point star.

Harbor Freight didn't even have them. I've been to three different auto shops and one dealer.

12 point triple square

Autozone used to have a set of three.

Sears has a large set.

Try NAPA also.
