OT - anyone know what size star socket for 88 Olds brake caliper bolt?
 
Went to put front pads on my hooptie last night (88 Olds Cutlass Ciera - a true classic), and found that those B#$tards at GM decided to use a star-head bolt instead of the allen-head bolt that they had used for probably 20+ years. I'm sure they didn't do this to try to get Joe-Backyard-Mechanic to bring his car into the dealership for an $80 brake job, right? :rolleyes:

Can anyone tell me what size socket these things are? I'm going to try to run out at lunch to get one, and it would help me out if I knew what size and whether it is standard or metric. Anyone out there who is a mechanic by trade and remembers off hand what size these are?

Thanks a bunch!
