Upper and Lower control links

I'm tearing down my parts car to make room for the next body and I need to know what the size of the bolts and nuts are on the rear upper and lower control links (trailing arms). I have the Haynes manual but it does not give a size and of course the recommended tools in the front is very inaccurate!

Gotta love those piston pictures on the back of that manual, hehe

Somebody must know this one? Especially those that have changed springs. I've got metric sizes up to 17mm and I know it is larger than that. I do not feel like spending more money on sets of the larger sizes or purchasing the wrong size and having to go back to the tool shop.

Thanks Adsy! I'll go ahead and pick up both the 19 and 21mm then with a good size breaking bar
