Rear brake rotor removal 06 Cooper

What is the size of the torx screw that secures the rear rotors on a 2006 Mini Cooper?

It's a T50 torx. Just did them last weekend. It is easiest to loosen with the calipers still attached and the parking brake engaged, but you can do it without if need be.

You also don't need to remove the caliper frame to remove the rotor. Be sure to put a small dab of anti-sieze compound on the bolt.
