    Removing brake calipers

    Hi all,

    Going to remove discs on my 03 D2 td5, to take the whole calipers piece off, it has to bolts that look like Torx head bolts, does anyone know what Torx socket size fits them.

    Just a normal socket is used to undo those bolts. I think the fronts are a 16mm socket and smaller (13 or 14mm) for rear.

    Just did a search after I posted this thread ( I know, should have searched first ), found a post that said it was a 13mm 12 point socket, a 12 point is a Torx is it not??

    No.

    It is a standard double hex socket.



    Torx is hexalobular.
