RE: caliper bolt
I'm pretty sure theyre 15mm. If youre doing rotors, you need an 18mm to get the caliper cage brace thing off and remove the rotor.
If theyre not 15s, theyre at least metric. I did my brakes with just a metric set of wrenches

RE: caliper bolt
15MM sounds right to me, there are some according to maintance manuals that take a giant allen bit. You can look at them without taking the wheel off to see if you need that allen bit. I think its used on the single piston front calipers.

I'd like to know what genius decided that 18mm wrenches should be left out of MANY metric wrench sets. I went to change the cage for the first time, only to discover that I lacked an 18mm! I looked at new metric sets, and found that alot skip the 16mm and the 18mm!
