Special tool for Rocker????

I'm trying to remove the "grenade" coil so I can paint it to match the color of the bike. However, in looking at the service manual it appears that the nut that connects the ignition (part the key goes into) might need some sort of star-shape tool? Does anyone know if this is the case, if so, where would I get the tool?
Thanks

Those are called Torx. You can get them at any hardware store.

Thanks dr., but I don't think you are referring to the "big" nut that keeps the ignition in the grenade (coil) of the Rocker. I have a set of torx drivers. This is a big star-shaped chrome nut (goes around where you put the key in). I'm sure it needs to be removed so I can disconnect the grenade from the bike.
