Changing front brake pads, what size allen wrench for calipers??

I started to put new pads on the front of my car and got to the " remove caliper" and I don't have a large enough allen wrench, so help me out so I don't have to go buy a whole set to use once if anyone knows off hand what size it is. Thanks guys!

brake caliper size. I have no idea what size it is, but if you go to any shop and tell them what you're doing they will get you the right one.
