 Hi C4 owners!

I'm trying to change my Grand Picasso front disc brakes but I have a small problem: I can't identify the right tool for the bracket bolts (picture below). The front left caliper has ref. 9688275280 (Ate: 11.3601-0659.3) . The bolt heads look like external Torx but the E14 is too small and the E16 is too large. As far as I know, there is no E15 Torx. Could it be that these are not Torx? And if you do know what these are, could you please share with me what is the tightening torque? Thanks!

 I watched some YT video, it says that you need 13" hexagonal wrench. Here is a video

Thanks for the info.
Yes, I had watched that video but that caliper is a different one. Mine is Ate. If you carefully watch, those are internal Torx bolts, not (what seems) external Torx bolts.

 Halfords sell them, used to be under the name of star sockets, now female torx. They will have a E number for the size, probably something like E14 for those.

Many cars have these bolt heads now, worth buying a full set.

And dont used a hex headed socket, you'll just damage them as they are high torque bolts.

 Oddly they still call torx bits "star bits"
