Re: 91 Cherokee calipers
Probably a Torx bit. Sears Craftsman, NAPA, Autozone, etc. will have them.

Thanks, do you know for sure? And what size? I see that there's other
Torx bolts on the sway bar etc. For the calipers, the bolt heads are
obscured by little rubber dirt protectors... that clearly don't work,
since the bolt heads were well-packed with dried mud. I think I got the
dirt out, but can't see 'em to be sure or even to figure out what kind
of heads they are!
Apparently, per a websearch, the Cherokee Sport used a completely
different caliper, mounted w/two 12mm bolts. So I'm asking about the '91
Cherokee Limited 4WD.

Re: 91 Cherokee calipers
I'm not sure, but Torx bolts are a favorite of Jeep. This is a recessed
thing that you stick the wrench into, correct? If you can get a good look
at it, and it is a Torx, it will be star-shaped.
