Anyone know the size of the bolt for the Caliper?

After replacing my brakes, I apparently didn't tighten the bolts on the brake caliper tight enough to the bracket and well, lets just say i don't have it anymore. It might have been because the bracket has a like a rubber seal on it which prevents me from tightening it without holding onto the bolt on the other side where the seal is. Now, I am going to need to buy a bolt to put in there. Would anyone happen to know what the size of that bolt is? Perhaps I can just pick it up from home depot.


-Thanx in advance!

Yeah, no. Definitely not going to the drive the car with just one bolt. The caliper is already a bit loose and it's not fully gripping around the pads, it is out of place already, and i think the only thing from keeping it from swinging downward is the lack of space.

Why not go to the parts department at the dealership? Some idiot mechanic stripped my drain bolt (the bolt itself, not the pan) and it was cheaper to get it at the dealership than ordering online.
