Help Sliding pin spanner size? see500020 Front brake removal

Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me, I am trying to replace the front brake caliper.

I am trying to find out what size spanner can be used to hold the sliding pins (see500020) while I unbolt the slider pin bolt(SMV500010).

Its proving a bit tricky as my spanner set only goes up to 17mm but is on the chubby side and does not get in under the lip on the slider pin so its had to see what size will be needed.

Really appreciate the help on this one. Bow down

13mm for the bolt, 16mm for the sliding pin. First make sure you scrape / brush off any rust / scale that may have built up on the flats.

If you cannot find a 'skinny' spanner, buy a cheap one and use an angle grinder, file or similar to reduce the thickness. Hope it all goes well Thumbs Up

16mm is too small. Big Cry

These are the TRW front calipers.
