You will need a 13mm socket - but when I worked on my brakes recently I also needed a 14mm and an 11mm - so basically you need a standard socket or spanner set.

That's the ones. You may well need some heat on them from a torch to free them up as they can be sods. If so, beware the CV boot and I think the ABS sensor wire is nearby too. Use a small spade or similar to shield the rubber parts.
