Size of bolts on Camshaft Position Sensor?

I was wondering about the size of the two little bolts that hold the camshaft position sensor (CPS) in place? None of my metric sockets fit it. Too big or too little. I did not see the size mentioned in any posts related to the CPS. I think a 7/32" is the correct size, but wanted to check with someone who has removed it before I buy some little sockets.

Thanks,
Eric

That's what I remember. You can change them for something nicer ... like a socket head screw after you get them out the first time. (Did someone say "grinder"? Make a screwdriver slot and bingo!)

I have a '96 3.8L. The best fit that I have is a 7/32" socket. A 5 mm is too small, and a 6 mm is too big. The size of the head seams to measure 0.231", although 0.219" is 7/32"so I must not have measured correctly.

I haven't had to replace mine but it sounds like it's 5.5mm. I could lend you the socket but i am way to far away
