Sorry, not right off hand. I remember it was the largest Torx driver in my kit. I can check for you when I get home.

T55 plus... it's got wider teeth than a T55... T55 will work just fine, just be easy with it and don't strip em out

Stripped T55 Torx Tip:

When removing the driverside tailgate hinge post I stripped one of the T55 bolt heads. The first bolt came out easy. Called a body shop I had done business with. He told me if I hadn't damaged the bolt head too badly I could pound a T57 bit into the bolt and then go easy. It worked
just fine.

The guy at the body shop even called me back to see how it went and told me he had a T55 bolt and to come by for it.
