MDX help
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me. I've done searches all over and came up with nothing. I have a 2002 MDX and I need to change the brake pads. My parents took it to Sears a few months ago and they tightened the caliper bolts so tight I can't even budge them. When they finally loosened the nut on the inside spins as well. So my question is....does anyone know what size nut that is? I tried a 3/4 that I use on my TL but it's not the right size. I don't want to run to Home Depot and buy the wrong wrench so hopefully someone can help.
Thanks!
Thanks!

first, make sure you have the right tools.
you need 12mm,17mm,19mm sockets; large hammer; impact driver; #3 phillips bit and piston compressor.
take the wheels off, use the impact driver and hammer to remove the two screws holding the rotor, remove the 2 bolts that hold the caliper, remove the 2 bolts to remove the brake pad's bracket, remove the rotor, you might have to use the hammer; compress the caliper's piston and assemble in reverse order.
pump the brake pedal before you start the car

Thanks, I saw the link but unfortunately the inner nut isn't the same as on the TL. I have the tools for the TL and I assumed it was the same on the MDX but it wasn't. 19mm is slightly smaller then 3/4 so I guess I'm going to have to try 25/32 wrench.
