Changing Front Brakes
 
So I've noticed there are a couple threads on this, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what size/type bolt is holding the caliper in place on the inside of the caliper. I've done many a brake job on different vehicles and never run into this issue, but I just can't figure out what it is back there and nothing I've tried seems to fit! Anyone who's done this have any insight? Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

:Confused: don't know what it is.
Photo?

Assuming you've tried hex keys, etc? A photo would be needed otherwise.

I'll see if I can get a quality picture when I get home...I've taken some really terrible quality pictures and it looks like it should be a hex key. problem is that I've tried every hex size I can find that looks close and no luck. Stay tuned for a picture!

Is it a 4 square - i.e. 12 splines?

You probably mean triple square which has 12 splines.

I bought a whole set of those in different sizes and 2 lengths as they are used fairly widely.
