Front caliper Allen Key size??

I need to swap front pads and YouTube videos suggest the Allen bolts are 11mm.  That's one I don't have in my kit.  Before I order one I just wanted to check that size is correct.  2019 car though I think the calipers are the same as the earlier cars

That seems very large. All the Ford's I have ever changed brake pads on that use an Allen key, have all used a 7mm (also not in your kit, I bet). 

The one I have I bought in 1983 from my Ford dealer, it is twice the length of a standard Allen key which you need for a bit of extra force.

I tend to do my own brakes so I do have a 7mm Allen socket.  This could be a result of the Edge being predominantly an American car. US sites quote 7/16" which does relate to the UK saying 11mm

My 2016 Sport needed an 11mm Allen key for the guide pins (Front). Not changed the rears yet, so can't comment on that caliper.
