Chain replacement help

Started to replace chain and sprockets on my '95 S3 today, but Murphy showed up almost immediately. I don’t know the size of the large engine mount bolt at the bottom of the sidestand bracket. Neither the factory manual nor Haynes comment on this. Is it just a big ole Torx? What size? Thanks for any and all advice.

Been there just recently - its a torx size T55. You will also need to beg borrow or steal a 36mm socket for the countershaft sprocket.

Thanks for the assistance guys. Mot, your site is the other place I'd checked for the size.
