7mm hex for the calipers and 10,, for the bracket that seures the disc.

for the 7 mm you have to get a wire brush and brush it hard as it gets rusty and the 7mm dont fit properly.

The Correct size for the caliper bolts is 7mm

the caliper carrier bolts are 10mm

if you are finding that you allen key aint fittin, get a small screw driver and scrape the scud outta the bolt, and spray it with some brake cleaner....
