If you are referring to the small (two) bolts that require a 15?/16?mm
wrench on the bolt head & 5/8"(18mm) open end to hold from spinning... The bolt is refered to as the caliper slide pin bolt.
It is a 8mm bolt with a thread pitch of 1.25
I don't have a bolt handy, but I'd say the length is approximately
3/4"-7/8"
The GM part number for these bolts is-14067559
If these are the bolts that you are referring to & the two you took out are still in good condition, you can reuse your old ones.
I suggest getting the old loc tite off them with a wire brush or I using a 8mmx1.25mm die & chasing the loc tite out of the threads
with it. ( I like this method)
Many recommend using a blue #242 loc tite for re install.
Torque to 23 lb.ft DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE BOLTS, as they will stretch & break quite easily.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
