Hey guys was just wondering what torx sizes do I need if I intend to remove front bumper and the wheels brakes calipers or any torx screw in those places.
eBay has them but some how to's have put a different size number. Like I have no clue what is m6 torx30. eBay puts them as like a t10-t55 8 piece set.

T10-T55 would be enough on a Peugeot. Don't think I have gone higher than T30 yet (however thats mostly body parts, not mechanical. Not sure about the brakes though.

Brakes are allen keys, you need a 6mm allen key from what I remember to undo the caliper from the carrier. But it's a T30 torx on the front bumper and then 2 10mm nuts.

You could go up to 40 comfortably but I'm sure the steering wheel is 45/50 but there aren't many that big.

Dam I knew that as my mate borrowed the biggest one in my set which is 55 but it didn't seem that big off the top of my head

You can buy a T and E set from screw fix for about £15 that works with a 1/4inch wrench, only set you'll need
