Anyone know what size torx bit fits the front pad holder bolts for a 2003 GMC Sierra.

Is it a torx? I thought it was a hex head, like maybe 3/8"? Sorry, not much help.

T45, T50, T55..... Don't forget to get some aftermarket bolts..... The replacements are not torx instead just a hex cap screw...... That is the 3 I have that are impact sockets so it's gottta be one of them.

T55 is what i just used on my Sister-in-laws '03 Tahoe, should be the same

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll go with the T55. It is definitely not a hex head. The hex head will fit inside of the bolt, but loosly and that is the last thing I want to do is strip it out.

Agree. Definitely buy aftermarket replacements with the hex head. The torx design is a very bad choice for caliper bolts and easily stripped and I always have problems getting a torx bit to seat well enough to easily remove them. You can buy Dorman replacement bolts cheap at your local parts store and use a standard socket.
