Brake assistance

I am wanting to replace my pads (front disc) on 06 Expedition, I cant for the life of me figure out what size hex socket fits into the darn caliper pins.
I have tried 8mm (to small) 10mm to big and th same result with the 3/8 and 5/16 hex head socket. What tool or size am I missing to get this caliper off?
Is the correct tool what of those star hex, like the T-50?

It probably is Allen Key but some odd size like 13/32 or something. I bet if you post this on the Expedition/Excursion page you will get the information you need.

some are torx, some are allen, and some are 10mm bolts.
