Default Tool sizes for brake pad replacement

What are the correct tool sizes for 2010 Z06 brake pad replacement?

Caliper bolts (6 point ?? mm)
Brake Pad Pins (Torx ??)

Do I need some type piston compressor tool? Have never seen one for 6 pistons!

I am replacing 1 piece pads from Carbotech, so I need to remove the calipers.

Pretty sure it's a 21mm, same as a C5.

21mm socket. Pull the caliper off of the upright and do NOT remove the pins from the caliper.

Remember red locktite on the bolts when they go back in. I believe it is either a 10mm or 11mm wrench for the bleeder screw.
