I just took this off last weekened. You need to remove the tensioner - there is a stud and bolt holding it on place at its center. The torx with a pin is the stud you're seeing - you don't need to remove the stud - just the nut.
Stick a 13mm deep well socket into the center of the spring assembly (not the pulley assembly) and you can remove it. This is the third bolt holding the coil pack in place.
Perhaps due to expectations - I found the front VC gasket to be as much of a pain as the rear. Granted, I was planning on taking off a butt load of stuff for the back - the front as also a pain (removing dogbones, coil pack mount, tensioner, harnesses etc).
