I did it yesterday and want to say it was a 13/16 socket...you might need a breaker bar or air impact wrench...mine were on super damn tight

Be careful, I snapped a bolt off 2 weeks ago. Those MO FO's are tight.

They are loctited on. Heat them up before removing.

Stupid question, but what'd you use to heat them up?

They are 21mm. When you replace them torque them to 125 ft lbs.

I'll just do the whole list.

Wrenches required for brake and rotor job.

Rotor bracket: bolts 21mm socket with breaker bar
Caliper bolts: 15mm closed end box wrench
Caliper pin nuts rear brakes : 16mm (open end)
Caliper pin nuts front brakes : 18mm (open end)*

*on 2000 and earlier all caliper pin nuts were 16mm

Torque required for install is 125 ft lbs for the 21mm bracket bolts and 23 ft lbs for the 15mm caliper bolts.

Lift the car as high as you can get it for more leverage on the 21mm bracket bolt. Also turn the front wheels for better access.
