hex size for brake caliper?????
sorry fellas - kind of an urgent issue - just pulled off the wheel to
do the brake pads and replace the rotors and i cant seem to find a hex wrench that will fit the @#*#* caliper pins (in order to pull the pads) - i've tried 1/4" (too small), 5/16" (too big), 6mm (too small) and 8mm (too big) - what gives? i dont think i've ever even SEEN a 7mm allen - could it be? i'd appreciate a speedy response as she's sitting in the driveway on jackstands and i have to be at work at 8 tomorrow! thanks in advance, b |

Yep 7mm An odd size, not in many of the kits, you may have to make a trip
