Does anyone know exactly what Allen wrench fits the slide pins for
I thought it was a 45 Torx, but, alas, not so.
It is a larger Allen wrench.
I went to change the front struts and found the brakes condom thin.
At least, I don't have to look for something to do tomorrow.
Yep, the caliper support bolts. I bought a 45 Torx because one of my previous GMs used it. It was totally wrong. ( I had hoped to cross it out at the parts house with new bolts.)
The parts house says GM used several different types.
When I washed out the recesses, it looks more like an Allen than a Torx. It darn sure wasn't a 45.
Thanks, Shep
After washing out the bolt holes, and checking everything with great precision, I find that this particular GM requires an ALLEN wrench,
3/8 inch.Often Torx is used, but not in this particular case.
Thanks again.
