97 exp.Brake Calipers Problem.

Went to change my brake pads and the previous owner stripped the alle heads.
What are some ideas to remove and what is the correct size?Are they 7mm or 1/4 in allen wrench?

my 97 had the same thing, someone before me stripped out the heads. I went to ford to get replacements but as always - very expensive. I took them to a "old fashion" hardware - matched the threads and length plus it has a regular bolt style head. Just remember to get grade 8, that is the strongest. Oh, I almost forgot, I took them off with vise-grips. This takes a while but I had no other choice.
