Default Star socket size for wheel hub?

CF's search function is massively broken or something, because none of the results seem to pertain to what I'm looking for these days.

What is the size for the star socket required to remove the two bolts that attach to the hub? I am trying to install my Quantum Motorsports spindle ducts and they require I remove these, but I don't have the proper star socket. I'll probably go out and buy a full set anyways, but I wanted to make sure the set includes the size I need.

Thanks,
Z

I don't remember the size, but hopefully you'll find 3 bolts holding it on and not 2.

I believe it is a T55, but I'll have to confirm that tonight.

Edit: confirmed, you need a T55 bit.

Just buy the set. I also believe it is 55.

There are 3 bolts, and you usually have to pop the lower ball joint to get the bottom 1.

Alright thanks fellas. I only have to remove the top two to install the spindle ducts from Quantum Motorsports.
