99 cavalier brake caliper bolt size question...

[naterkane]

trying to pull the halves of the caliper apart to replace a warped rotor on my friends car this evening, we came across a problem.

i can't find any listing that says what size allen (hex) i need for those two retaining bolts.

i'm guessing it's somthing like 9mm (or the standard equivalent), but i can't find anything close to that size at either advanced auto parts or sears.

please help, his car is scary as hell to drive right now with that warped disk.

anyone?

I used a 3/8 allen wrench.

you are exactly correct. 3/8 inch is RIGHT in between 9 and 10 mm

I'm sure Lisle makes them and Pep Boys or O'Riley's sell them.
