front discs, torx size?

[Da]

I've had the new discs for months now, but haven't got round to fitting them due to being unsure as to the torx size of the screw holding the disc to the hub. I've heard anything from tx20 to tx40 so can anyone say for definite what size they are and is there a Torque setting they need tightening to?

Cheers

Don't you have a torx set??
Also don't think they have a torque setting as they are only done up very lightly just to hold the disc in place while you put the wheel on, the wheel nuts actually secure the disc to the hub, screws are just there to hold it in place while you line up the wheel/hub.

ok cool, and yeah i have a limited torx set from size 7 to 30, but didn't want to get into the job not knowing whether it'd be a big enough set. So...is there a definite size?

the torx tool sould be in with ur spare wheel set. the two silver tool things clipped to the yellow handle.

[MrMark]
