GL550 caliper mounting bracket bolt size?
I have been lurking for years here so now I feel totally guilty finally creating an account only to ask for help.
I am in the middle of my first brake job on my 2009 GL550. (I usually take it to the shop) I am doing pads and rotors.
All was going well until it came to removing the caliper mounting bracket. I do not seem to have a socket or wrench large enough for the bolt.
Does anyone happen to know the GL550 caliper mounting bracket bolt size?
I need to go buy a new socket but have no idea which size I need.
I have searched the forum here and Google to no avail. Thank you in advance.

More importantly, is where did you get your 9mm allen for the caliper bolts?
I had to borrow one from our maintenace department, as NO ONE in Pittsburgh had a 9 for sale. And of course, I had an 8mm and a 10mm socket. Go figure.
Glad to see another DIY guy here
