What size are these torx bolts

While replacing my serpentine belt I sheared the tensioner off of its mount on the alternator and have to replace it. The bolts are 11287560445 (http://www.ecstuning.com/ES21774/). Does anyone know what size socket to get for these?

Looks like it should be an E12 torx socket. Generally you can get these small kit with different sizes.

Indeed they were E10. Right on the money ECS. BTW if anyone has to replace this you don't have to put the radiator into the service position to get extra room. Just need to remove the lock carrier, passenger headlight and disconnect the charge air pipe at top connection moving the pipe aside.
