Look at the bolt that holds the high pressure hose to the pump, if it has a female "star" shape, it is a Torx bolt and you would need a Torx bit.

Take it to an auto parts store and ask them to find out what torx size it is (T-50 for example).

Low pressure (return) hose is usually held by a clamp.
