13mm or 1/2 bihex socket

think you'll find a 13mm multy spline socket will do aswell

pretty sure its 13 but if you got a 12 & 14 handy just incase :doh:

the bi hex do work though as long as they are'nt chewed up

It's 13mm 1/2" is very tight need hammer to get it on, I have nw bought a 13mm

1/2 is perfect on most of then the heads do corrode away ,i have a specific snap on 1/2 socket especially for the caliper bolts

Don't forget the thread lock and make sure the brake lines aren't too rusty to play ball beforehand.

Got 1/2" and 13mm bihex so should be OK.
