brake caliper removal

hey, does anyone know the size of the hex socket that is used to remove the caliper? ive always borrowed one before and never payed attention to the size of it. i'm about to go get my own but need the size first. i think its an 8mm but i'm not positive.
thanks
dave

Man..if you can wait till tonigt I can give you a diff. answer. Because I THINK its a 3/4 inch. I've used it from 86s...all the way to 96. Sorry not much help right now but like I said...if you can wait I'll be home tonight.

Front brakes require a 3/8" allen. Get one that is mounted in a socket for easiest use.
