need to know size of allen socket for front brakes

I want to change my front brake pads on my '89 astro today, but i don't have a set of allen sockets that the haynes guide says i'll need, so if possible i'd like to find out the size i'll need so i can just buy that one before i take my wheels off. Does anyone happen to know?

Not sure of the exact size. But I know that most part stores will carry it in the HELP section. Not the highest quality of tool, but it will work.

Like the guy said you can find out from the part store but in my experience with chevys it has been either a T52 torx bit or a 3/8 allen. Good luck.
