Please can somone tell me what size Torx bit is needed to remove the caliper mounting bracket from the front hub.

Trying to get all the tools sorted in preparation for fitting new disks and pads

Thanks

I've a feeling it was a T30 Peter, but @jj9, @Gadgetman or @saskak will know.

I've just checked them on my car as I couldn't remember and they're T55.

Never even looked at the number stamped on it.   
GET A GOOD SET!   

My go-to set looks something like this:
   

The more complete your set, the fewer trips to the store for more tools. And full sets in a case makes it easy to 'police' your tools. You see instantly if you're missing a piece.

I've got a Teng set the same as this. I just pick one that fits too. But some folk just buy bits as required.

[Gadgetman]

Buying them separately is cheaper only as long as you never need more than a few of them.

Buying sets have saved me from a lot of desperate 'must reach HW store before closing' rushes. And those rushes are extra difficult if the car is in pieces, and the store is 20Km or more away...
I also have an 'after the fact' rule; that if I bodge through a job, but there exists a tool that would have worked better, I buy that tool the next time I'm at the HW store. If it's part of a set, I buy the set.
This rule has saved me from a few mad dashes, too.

Thanks all, I do have a set of torx bits and some loose ones. Now that I know hat size to look for among my loose ones.

I like to have everything ready before I start a job

Be sure to knock the bit into the head well with a hammer before you try to undo it as they are threadlocked and the heads are shallow.

I have done the job a few times before, imprtant to clear the socket out before starting to remove

I am nearly certain they are T55. I use a breaker bar from Halfords and I think I bought the T set from Halfrods as well. Have used it quite a few times now and none of these have broken.
