For the e-torx socket get this set

Not the one from Hazard Frought. The HF set does not fit the splines correctly since it is a Chinese copy and can strip out the bolt. The Lisle set is US made and they paid the $$ to license the Torx design properly.

The Lisle sockets fit very snugly on the bolt. In fact you have to be careful because an E12 socket will "almost" sit down on an E10 bolt and if you are not careful that will strip it out. Found that out the hard way on my OM642 oil cooler job. Luckily it did not destroy the bolt and it was a one use only bolt that was getting replaced anyway.
