There is a Saab special tool for it. The reason is because with a normal socket Torx bit the tool would be in the middle of the space occupied by the CV joint. So yes, it's a Torx fastener, but it's extremely difficult/possibly impossible to get a standard tool on it. The good news is, if you replace the stanchion arm at the same time you don't have to mess with it. Worth noting that the eEuroparts kit includes a replacement bolt with a hex socket head instead of torx. No problem as you can bolt the two parts together before you put them in the car, but if the next guy trys to take that bolt out without removing the stanchion it will be a pita due to the aforementioned tool issue.
