If its hex, you need a allen wrench. If its a star, you need a torx bit/wrench.

They take an allen wrench to get them out. I dont remember what size, but you will want to make sure you use the correct size wrench because to small of one will round out the head. Its best to get one that will fit a 3/8 drive rachet.
