Can anyone tell me what size torx driver I need to get the front disk brake calipers off a '92 ford taurus?

Question

It's a regular 6 cylinder taurus, not the racy "SHO". I may have messed up the torx pattern in the bolts with an allen wrench. I was trying to get the bolts loose with a 3/16" allen wrench. Although I encountered resistance to turning with the 3/16" allen, upon struggling to break the bolt loose the allen started turning easilly and I may have rounded out the star pattern or torx pattern for the correct size torx driver. Any idea what the proper size torx to use on the caliper bolts is? Thank you.

Answer 1

I had a 99 Taurus, I think it used a 50 or 55 torx but that was a while ago and I might be confusing that size with another job I did more recently. Nothing beats having the right tools... pay a bit more and get good tools now or else you'll have to pay twice!
