Need help for the front caliper socket 2NH

hi

I am changing my pad for the front of my 2021 m2c. I saw all the video on YouTube stating it's 18mm socket. But when I took my wheel off, it looks like a external torx pattern. Anyone else had this over regular bolt?

What size should I get for the etorx socket and what's the torque for this bolt?

Thanks![IMG][/IMG]

Star socket patterns will latch onto those e torx bolts.

I don't have 2NH, but i would assume that what he uses in the video you saw.

I don't know what the torque value is, but those are one of the 'torque-to-fail' bolts (or whatever the term is) - they are a one-use item that you torque to a fr/lb then add a certain amount of additional rotation. I'll ask my shop what figures they are using. FCP Euro has them, and will do lifetime replacement, so it isn't that big a bite (I think they were less than $20 for the 4 - and you don't need them for the rears).
