Torx bit? Are you sure? Because I don't think so... Should be a 10mm or 3/8" (depending on the vehicle, can't remember yours specifically) allen-head (hex) tip. This tip is available at most auto supply stores for about $5 and may actually be labeled a "disc brake caliper socket".

Suggested Repair

Do not buy a T50 Torx bit. Use an allen-head hex disc brake caliper socket, typically 10mm or 3/8 inch, sold at most auto parts stores for about $5.
