Do you mean the caliper bracket bolts? 60 torx? If so you need a high quality 1/2 drive socket.

yeah yeah, caliper bracket. And i have all high quality stuff. Good thing that Snap-On will be replacing my torx bit for free, because that got pretty mangled in trying to undo these damn bolts

Re: who's bright goddamn idea was it to use TORX head caliper bolts?!
just for future reference - before you try your T60 on them - hit 'em with some PB blast first, let it sit, then heat it up with a torch - works every time.
They're supposed to be a PITA to get off without heat. They're threadlocked from the factory. Oh, and now that you got them out, remember to threadlock them back. I had some come out on me while I was driving. (Yes, I made sure they were snug, I reinstalled them with a breaker bar) - still vibrated loose.
