2006 Expedition brake pad problems

I have looked all through the internet for a how to on changing the pads for a 2006 Expedition, but found nothing. There are no chiltons/haynes manual for this year either!!! I have taken one of the wheels off to try and change it without a manual but am stumped. It looks like the calipers are held on with a hex bolt. I have tried the 3/8, 5/16, 10mm, and 8mm sockets and none work. It looks like it is a 9mm but they don't make a 9mm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is a 9mm. Kragen auto parts stores carry it, as well as Sears.

Yes it is a 9mm and that socket is shard to find.

Don't forget the little spring in the top of the front caliper.

I put Akebono pads on mine, no dust and the truck stops much better.
