What tool for engine stabilizer bolts

What tool for engine stabilizer bolts
I have a 2011 FLHP and would like to know what tool is used to remove the engine stabilizer link bolts.
In case I'm naming this incorrectly, this is the link between to frame and the top of the front cylinder.
I'll searched the forums, and some have said these are torx head bolts. However, my T40 is too small and T45 is too big. I haven't been able to find any torx sizes between these two
Any ideas??
Thanks
Steve

I stopped at the Harley shop yesterday and found out that evidently there are two versions of a T45 socket.
One has rounded points, like mine has
The other has sharper points. Looks almost like a spline socket. Anyway, this is what is needed for these stabilizer bolts.
Now to see if I can find such a socket and see if this is in fact true
It's not supposed to be this difficult

Turns out the torx set I had was actuallt torx plus, instead of plain torx. The points are much wider.
Thanks for that picture. It helped me explain what I needed at the local tool store
I ended up buying that same SK socket, actually a set of 10.
