   Hi guys just taking the callipers off of an old eastcoast the two allen bolts in the back of the calliper to split them I'm sure is meant to be 10mm but it doesn't seem to fit, can someone confirm it is a 10mm and not 9mm (8mm is too small).
   
   I don't have a 9mm and don't want to buy one unless I can confirm it is that size as I don't want to stick my head under the back of the brakes whilst its on a scissor jack
