Torque is a force that is applied to a lever. (Imagine a rachet. As you tighten a bolt, you push on the handle, which is essentially a lever. This lever exerts torque on the bolt, causing it to spin) Torque is defined as T = r cross F, or just R X F. Basically, if you multiply the force by the distance of the force from the central point on the object you are trying to rotate, you have torque.

that my friend would be a t45 or a t50 dont know why they use 2 different sizes. But mine was the t50 but the mechanic that I talked to said that there are also ones that use the t45. its actually a t47 its a perfect very tight fit although its a very rare and special size you will probably have to order it as i did Autozone sells torques bit sets with the size needed and a torques size tester (not sure if name is correct), it is many red plastic pieces on a key ring and checks normal torques as well as internal torques sizes.
