What Tool?

[Banshee]

I'm wanting to remove the front wheel from my '91 TY and I'm needing a Star shaped bit (male) with I think 12 points about 13 mm accross to undo the axle.What do I ask the person behind the counter for? I'm not familiar with Torx bits but am guessing this is going to be to easy a fix.Alternatively is there a simpler fix other than puting a big screwdriver in maybe a big allen key? The 'special tool'didn't come with the bike and Yamaha cant supply one or tell me what it is.Thanks for any help.

Nothing flash its just a big metric allen key fits that head
Sorry don't remember the size, but you can measure the distance between opposing (parallel) flats to get the A/F size for the key
