Okay great thank you for the fast response

[y3ti]

they're called external torx.

its an e12 for the rods and an e14 for the mains

I got mine from Sears, but if you're desperate I noticed some at Home Depot.

FWIW, it's often cheaper in the log run to buy a small set of Torx sockets/drivers if you can and then you'll have them for other fasteners that require a different size socket/driver. When sold individually the prices are often substantially more and when you need a different size you need to order them or run to the auto parts store to buy them which can be a PITA when you need to do a quick repair.
