Save that 10mm. You will also need it to get the battery posts loose.

There are a few places the 10mm wrench comes in handy, caliper and battery post are the first ones you usually discover.

Make sure it is a 12 point 10mm. I tried to ge the brake off with a non 12 point and jsut watched the 10 mm go round and round...

Socket size
Craftsman has a set of sockets that works for all of the bolts, they are special sockets. The only downside is that they are made in Taiwan.
