Quick Question Centre Armrest installation

Anyone know what size that Thorx Socket is for the Seat Bolts? Install looks fairly straight forward, but would probably go easier if I had the right size Thorx socket.

Thanks!

Here's a link to the minimania site that says T-40

Yes, T-40 and you only need to loosen the front ones, but not before removing the rear ones, as the raised front torx can prevent seat from sliding forward to access rear Torx Bolt. This is reverse of the order in how-to link.

Also notice that the raise/lower pump also moves seat forward/back a little, so use this to advantage for Torx Bolt Access.
