I bought a cheap set from autozone. they are" L" shaped like allen wrenches. just stick the long end down in the hole and take a boxed end wrench over the other end to give you enough leverage to turn it.

The set I have came from AutoZone, and they are made for a 3/8" ratchet. The package says that they're a Chevrolet Caliper kit. All I care is that they were long enough for me, and came with T40, 45, 50, 55...for about $15.

Go getto if you have a cheap 3/8 ratchet set grind down the part the torx bit fits into, not alot just enough so it will slide in there. I bought a cheapo one just for that.

I went even more ghetto and used a flat blade screwdriver and gabbed onto the shaft of it with an open end wrench
