I've also found that many places that sell the fasteners don't list the hex size, only the diameter and pitch.

It's ISO spec vs. DIN spec. DIN is Deustch-something and uses the 11-13-15 etc heads. Japanese mostly use ISO spec 10-12-14 heads. If you purchase online check to verify which spec and you'll get the right hex sizes. Now if someone could give me a good explanation for why Ford decided to use 18mm hex heads on most of their suspension parts (?) Have you ever seen a metric tool kit that came with it? I had to buy individual wrenches and sockets. Never seen an 18 on anything else, german, japanese, italian, etc. I've yet to find an 18 anywhere on my Nissan.....,
