Brake rotor install

While installing the new brake rotors and pads, I ran across a new type of bolt that I hadn't seen before. When you remove the caliper and hang it from the a-arm, you then have to remove the caliper bracket in order to remove the rotor. There are 2 bolts that have a star shaped head on them. I found the right socket at Napa for $13; it is an External Star Socket size E18. I found these bolts after I had already started the job and it added over an hour to the job just trying to track down this socket so hopefully this helps others to be prepared before they start. In the pic, the 2 bolts have some green paint on them that helps to identify them in the pic.
