Default What head on sierra 4x4 front propshaft flange bolts

Trying to find the correct tool to remove the flange bolts at front of front propshaft where it attaches to diff. Manual says they are torx but I have to say they look like normal allen key but none of my allen keys or torx bits seen to fit nice and tightly. If someone could confirm what they should be I will have another go. Don't want to round them off by using the wrong bit. Thanks David.

hi mate, mine had allen head bolts in, 6mm allen key I think, but mine round off trying to undo them so ended up undoing them with hammer n chisel, got new ones from fords they add 13mm heads, any bolts will do as long as there hi tensile 12.9, hope this helps

Thanks or the reply. 6mm is the closest I could find but it did feel like it didn't fit quite right and would probably spin in the head - hence the question. Hoping not to destroy them getting out so I can re use them.
