Its called a reverse torx.
Lisle makes a socket set that fits them.
Napa or All Pro auto parts, most any local parts house should carry them.
I got mine at Sears.

I don't have the tq# but i just tighten the shit out of them...

They are have Locktight on them. You may not get them out without some heat. Helps a bunch.

Yup:

"Grade 10.9 (150,000 psi tensile strength) hex head bolts, M10-1.50X25mm front and M12-1.75X25mm rear, direct replacement for stock E12 (front) and E14 (rear) prop shaft bolts."
