I'm pretty sure it is a T55. The power steering pump is a T45. You'll need a power steering pulley puller as well.

Naaa, you can get a 3 piece set of torx that includes those sizes at Sears for around $15. Probably cheeper if you have a Harbor Freight around. The power steering tool you can rent from Autozone for free with a refundable $40 deposit. You may be able to get them to do there for you.

Come to think of it, it may be a T50. Buy all three seperate and return the ones you don't use.

If you're selling the whole serpentine setup, you won't have to pull the PS pump pulley and neither will the buyer unless the pump needs to be removed for replacement or painting.
