On my 2000, that bolt was pressed into the bracket. No torx needed--I used a little heat and a ball joint press to remove it.

I believe it's a T-55. Anyways, the bolt is pressed in and has splines, the torx is just to prevent the splines from stripping. Take the nut off first, then hammer, or press the bolt out.

Ball joint press was the quickest.
