Type of bolt head on cv axle

[misfit77]

Does anyone know the type of head on the 6 bolts that are holding the axles to the differential on a 1999 MK4 GTI 2.0 AEG engine code?

Looks like a Torx set bit. The cheapo repair manual says its either an M8 or M10, but im interested in the type of head.

Thanks

Looks like the job should be easy to replace a new half shaft, but dam bearins have to be packed and ball joint has to be popped off.
