Default What size hex tool needed to remove caliper bolts?

Hey guys, quick question.

anyone know the size of the hex head socket that I need to remove the calipers on a '99 chevy tahoe? I don't have my tools with me here (well at least I forgot to bring that specific tool). It should be in the area of 3/8".. probably metric. Let me know if anyone has that useless info on the top of their head (yeah I know it's a long shot since this is a domestic and all).

I've searched the internet, couldn't find anything.

thanks, ryan

yeah I would rather not goto sears and get a few difference sizes, not at $3 a tool. ---- that when I already have the same thing at home

go to autozone and use the lot tools :P they normally have ---- in a box under the counter for people to use. alot of folks around here can't wait until they get home to install the LED squirters, or light up skull shifter.
