Default Replacing front discs and pads.. What size torx for the pins?

Hey peeps, I remember when taking the tires off and inspecting the brakes that the caliper pins were monster torx headed bolts. After a bit of looking and browsing through the haynes manual, I can't seem to find the exact size. Can anyone point this out for me? They look like they may be over T50.

Thanks.

If it's larger than a T50, there is a T55 torx bit.

Ok, I see that, so it goes, t50, t55 and lastly t60. It's most likely t55. This is the first time I see/have the need to have such large torx bits.

I'm not a mechanic, so I don't see many newer vehicles... how often do you guys see these sizes?
