A/C Compressor Bolts

Can anyone tell me the bolt head size on a 1998 F-150 A/C compressor? The mounting bolts and the manifold bolt. A 10mm is a little big and a 3/8" is too small. I can find a 13/32" in my box and am wondering if that is it. Thanks

Everything should be metric. Try a 9 mm.

EVERYTHING is metric on this truck. Put the SAE tools away for working on antiques.

use a HEX ( 6 sides), not 12 pt socket or wrench.
