What is the SC bolt size?

I'm so close to removing the SC that I can smell it! But I can't figure out the bolt head size for the two smaller bolts. They have "9.8" stamped on them. Does that mean 9.8mm? I think it may b/c the 10mm socket is just a bit to big and the 9mm is too small. I can't believe Ford put on a 9.8mm bolt just to make us go insane. Also, I tried standard sockets and nothing fit. WHAT DO I DO? Gotta get this thing into the mail tomorrow. I've read some forums that say they are 10mm, but I ain't seein' it.

They are 10mm. I've removed the supercharger on both of my SC's many times. Take it from me, they are 10mm.

Looks like the first 10mm socket I used was wore a bit. After 30 mins of digging I found another one and it worked! It is off!
Thanks.

BTW, the "9.8" is the strength marking on the bolt. Metric version of the dash markings on Imperial hardware.
