i have a haynes manual , but nowhere does it state what size torque socket to use. Even at the back where it states all the tools to use, it does not say sizes just torx of various sizes.
So ofc you obviously dont know and are trying to be smart ass.
To which i agree to the latter part

Well for a start read your 1st post you asked what size torque bots ? I was assuming what you wrote was refuring to was 'what should they be torqued up to'. Torque is a value of tighness not size of a socket.
Torx is an allen key end with spikes.
I'm not a smartass I just no the difference.

3rd draw down of the roll cab for me 
Anybody that wants to do diy maintenance on a 206 should have a set of Torx bits & sockets to cover all the sizes used.
