Tools needed for B7 brake pads

Maybe someone here knows:

Thanks

I believe the front are 8mm hex, the rears are like 13mm/15mm bolts I think. The rears you will need a universal tool to spin in the caliper piston. The front are normal style pistons.

thanks to all. I just wanted to know that not much changed over the years, ie, no special tool, as i'll see the car this weekend and want to work on it.
