If you are taking off the caliper bracket to replace the discs, you will need a 55 torx bit, if you are just replacing the pads, you only need a 13mm spanner to undo the bottom bolt holding the caliper down, pull the caliper away and swivel it up, then pull it out of its slot.

If replacing the discs, you'll also require the right size torx bit for the screws which hold the disc to the hub face. Possiby T25?
