Front caliper bolt/torx size?
Anyone know what size the two hex bolts are that hold front the caliper in place? I read that the rear bolts are E18 Torx but can't find any information on the front ones. I actually have a 2006 SL55 but I am pretty sure the brakes on the E55 and SL55 are the same. Thanks...

Front calipers are hex bolts not torx. I think they are 19mm but I could be wrong 17-21mm covers it... thank goodness as the rear torx bolts are a nightmare to get off.
The rears are definitely E18 torx... spent the good part of two days boxing with them. They eventally came off using an impact hex socket and a 3ft breaker bar, and after breaking a Torx bolt!
