And what kind of tool do I need to remove it?

Torx bolt/torx bit.

Torx bolt. Use a torx screwdriver/bit to unscrew it.

Torx socket head. Imperial something, since I don't believe they make metric torx sockets.

Yes, though Torx has their own proprietary size classifications as internal point-to-point distance doesn't really sync up as well as it does in a standard hex bit. For instance, the internal point-to-point distance of a Torx T70 is 0.61 inches. Sooooo...yeah.

Strictly speaking they're neither imperial or metric as they have a system all of their own.

that's a Torx bolt and I'm guessing a seat rail so more than likely looking at size T50 which is fairly common for seat rail bolts

The devil incarnate, that's what that is.

As previously mention, it's a Torx. Be careful though, I have found that cheap Torx sets break easily. Buy the nice stuff!

T45 or T50 torx. Use torx sockets, not bits. At that size bits will probably break or just not allow the necessary leverage top loosen.
