Default Removing rear rotors

So I have searched the forum and I know I need a 12pt Torx (double triangle). for the rear. I will fully admit, I have no idea what this means. I changed the brakes on my 996 and my old ML500 and they all just required a torx bit. While I know the fronts require a t50, the back one is perplexing me.

Also, on the schematics (below), they mention the torx screw n910 282 01 but also a screw plug N 910 380 01. What is the screw plug?

Oh, and has anyone ever used DBA brakes on a Cayenne? Being as they come from the mother country, I though I would give the 4000 series a crack. You can get slotted or drilled/slotted. Think I will try the slotted. The product might be too new for anyone to have had them installed.

Thanks

CJ

AKA...cheese head. You can get these at some of the better auto part stores. I got mine from carquest auto and it is made by Lisle. Not too expensive.

I'm glad to know I can use this tool for other things. I bought a set to do my flywheel.

I am just curious, how did they come up with the name "cheese head" for this socket? When I think cheese head I think Green Bay Packer fan and they don't look anything like this socket, I just wonder where that came from.

I've also heard "12 point socket" used.
