from memory its something like 14mm spline drive or triple square
on the rear cant remember if front is same size or not if its the 4.2 and (356mm)rear discs you dont actually have to remove the carrier theres enough space to swap them over once you have backed them off with vcds |

just going through some old posts and saw this
the socket required to remove or loosen the caliper slider pins on the front brakes is a " H9 socket " 9mm hexagonal socket some silly bugger thought it would be good to come up with an odd size socket so it makes it harder to change things |
