Default 2003 Caravan Caliper Bolts - what size ?

I must replace all pads on a 4 wheel disc 2003 Caravan Sport.
I can't see the van until I go over to do the job.
Does anyone know if the calipers are mounted with bolts or hex bolts?
If I need a hex, I'd like to buy the right size when I buy the pads tonight.
Thanks

The front calipers are held on with 7mm allen bolts, and the caliper bracket-steering knuckle bolts are 13/16

My 01 Sport were held on by a 12mm bolt removed with a socket.

Hmmm. Thanks again. Any bolts won't be a problem since I have hundreds of sockets. I also have 7mm & 9mm allen bits for a 3/8" drive. I should be in good shape.
I appreciate all the input.

Update after the job - On the 2003's (with 16" wheels) all four calipers are mounted with (2) 7mm Allen Bolts. I didn't need to take the steering knuckles off. Rotors were okay so each wheel took 15 minutes tops.
