Caliper bolts?

[stpete]

Gonna refurb my rear calipers tomorrow if it dry and was wondering, does the rear caliper carrier use and odd size bolt or allen head and if so, anyone know the size?

It is an odd size and very difficult to get to and get out.
It's 7mm and you'll need an allen key as opposed to a allen key socket.
Ibet you refurb these with the caliper on

Rear caliper?

Doesnt use 7mm allen keys, front does but not the rear

Two 13mm bolts (require 13 and 15mm spanners) for the caliper and two 8mm allen key bolts to hold the carrier onto the rear beam.

Yeah, rear, the carrier has started to peel so I'm gonna repaint whole thing, so need to strip down! I'm told halfords own hi temp paint is a good match for front brembo's?
