Default 92 caliper bolts

So I get my front wheel off to start my brake job and I find the caliper mounting bolts are a female hex head. Anyone know what size allen wrench it takes? I'm gonna have to put the wheel back on and go to the store to get it.

3/8"

Get the 3/8 drive socket. 3/8 hex by 3/8 drive. You'll thank yourself later. Most hex keys (allen wrenches) are too short to develop the torque to breat it loose.

Thanks, but I searched it after I posted and just got up and left for the hardware store and got the 3.8" socket drive. And I forgot to let you know after I got back. It took me about 2 hours. ONly snafu after the hex socket is one of the bleeder valves twisted right off when I tried to open it. But it'* all done and they look great behind my chromies.
