Most people use Torx T 50 however the correct size is actually Ribe 8, normally torx T 50 will work tho.

What you may find however as I have found more times than I care to remember from dismantling, is that somebody may have put the wrong size torx in before then used a rattle gun and started to round them off.

Be very careful not to round them off, I always start with the front two bolts then send the chair as far forward as possible and get the back straight up to do the rears.
