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
