What size star socket do I need to remove the door striker on a 1995 Ford F-150

I will do my best to check on this tomorrow. I need to adjust the striker on my 95 F150 too.

Torx T50 will do the job. Just replaced both of mine. Before adjusting (only) make sure that the striker bolt has the plastic bushing on it (I realized that mine didn't after watching the video below while trying to figure out the best way to adjust my doors so that they would close well).

If not, you can replace them with Dorman part #38448 (got mine off of Amazon for $10 each).

If it's helpful, here's a good YouTube video on it:

I replaced my old plastic bushings on the striker pen because one was broke in half and the other one was worn out. I bought a 8 foot section (a few dollars) of hot water line made for my house. I cut me a couple sections the same length as my old one. It was a perfect fit, I did this 3 years ago and they both still look like new. I have enough water line to make a lot more of them if ever needed.
