I am currently trying to replace my rotors and pads on my 99 cavy. I have ran into the problem of not knowing what size allen wrench i need to remove the caliper. Any help suggestions????

Thanks

GM uses a 3/8" Allen wrench. 10mm may also work.

Update, completed pads and rotors in about an 2 hours. Had to add some torque to the GM allen wrench by hooking in a crescent wrench. Thanks again for the size. 17 degees, light snow, 10 mph winds. Good Times. Best purchase, my new mechanix gloves.
