Default Caliper hex bolt size (removal)

I have an ‘06 Boxster Base 2.7.

Anyone can tell me the size of the hex bolt head to remove the calipers.

I need to get metric and SAE hex head socket sets.

Thanks-

I'm also curious for an '08 S. Everything I've read online says it's a T55, but mine have allen head bolts.

Short of buying every size and returning what doesn't fit, I'd like to at least know before I go to the store...

I got a helpful response on Planet9 saying the hexbolt is likely a 10mm. I'll have to check mine tonight.

I purchased the Husky 38 piece 3/8in drive bit socket set from Home Depot for $30.

It has the 10mm and the T55, so I’m covered.

Hex 3mm-10mm
1/8 - 3/8
torx T15 - T55

Thanks y’all
