Caliper bolts.

What is this?

Do I need a special socket for these, or will a normal one work?

OOh I like them! Thanks Bob... Turns out I don't need to undo those bolts. But I might go get myself a set this evening!

Going to have to disagree i would say that a spline socket would be needed here.

First 2 pics are spline male and female and third and forth picture are torx

As bob says buy the torx i have only ever seen spine bolts holding heads down and have always used a torx socket to get it out.

All moden car are now torx also look out for torx male sockets with little holes in the middle theses are safe torx.
