Factory JCW Front Calipers *help*

Hey guys, im trying to replace the pads on my front JCW Calipers, and I'm learning my allen wrench set isnt going to work, its some kind of hex star or torx size for the what looks like 4 caliper bolts, does anyone have that exact size ill need? thanks

If you're just doing pads I'm pretty sure you just need to knock the pins out. If the rotors are coming out, it is probably easiest to unbolt the caliper where it mounts to the spindle.

You just knock the pins out, nothing to undo. I find a T-10 screwdriver actually works well as a pin punch. I bought a craftsman T-10 just for that purpose.
