Question regarding proper tool for belt job

I know Porsche has a special tool to hold the center of the alternator/belt shaft while the large nut is loosened. But, is this "special" tool just a Torx bit? If so, what size is it? I need to go and buy one without buying a whole set

thanx guys!

It is not Torx but rather "triple square" available at NAPA.
