does anyone know offhand what sizes the two bolts on the caliper are? i gotta change my pads and gotta go buy a few socketts i think they are 14mm or 16mm not sure? pretty sure i dont need any other tools right?, well just the rear caliper turning cube. thanx.

 

if u r doing front pads, you will need a clamp or a specifically designed clamp for pushing brake pistons that u can find at autostores for around $10.

 

c clamp works fine with the old pad on the piston for even pressure. also i have seen people use a large scredriver between the rotor and back pad. good if you are changing the rotors.

 

You really only need a few sizes of sockets (and possibly some extensions) for our cars:
10mm (3/8" drive)
12mm (*)
14mm (*)
17mm (1/2" drive)
19mm (1/2" drive, for lug nuts)

(*) Buy those in both 1/2" and 3/8" drive and you'll have the sockets needed to handle most jobs on the car!

I believe for the brake pads you will need 12mm and 14mm, POSSIBLY the 17mm but I don't think so. You will also need a 14 (or maybe 17mm) open-ended wrench to hold the slider pin from spinning when unbuckling one side of the caliper to flip it open.

 

done close it up.
its 14 and 12 for the calipers bolts and i just used an adjustable open wrench for the spinner screws.
