1990 brake caliper bolt sizes

This is a really quick question. Does anyone know what size bolt is used to hold the rear brake calipers to the bracket? There's two of them, and I don't seem to have the right sized wrench for them. Thanks a lot.

They are the same bolts as the front calipers. IIRC, you need a 13mm wrench to remove the bolts and a 17mm wrench to hold the guide pin

There's no guide pin on the back, just two bolts. I can tell you that I've tried a 17mm and it's too small. An 19 mm is too large. So is it 18mm?

The bolts that attach the caliper bracket to the spindle are 18mm.

Thank you. That's kind of what I thought. I have 17mm and 19mm wrenches, so I'll have to get an 18mm. Thanks again.
