Dumb question of the day: what size socket do I need to remove my front calipers? My old GM brake socket is in hiding, and I suspect things may have changed since the mid 70's

Thanks!

I think OEM were all Torx, but all the replacement bolts are allen head bolts. You might have both in place, I did when I got it. The adapter bolts are metric hex heads.

Thanks!
All done,
Had the GM since forever 3/8" hex. Bought a new one, guaranteed I will find the lost one tomorrow.
