19Cutlass94 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 caliper brackets or no? You need a 12mm wrench for the one bolt, and I believe its another 12mm bolt for the bracket for the e-brake cable. Other than that maybe a screwdriver to get thepads on/off.

Yea, and the bleeder 10 mm needs to be a wrench. A socket won't work for that if you do it right with the 3/8 inch clear plastic hose on the end of the bleeder and clear glass jar. I have a self-bleeding kit that I use for mine. I am usually completely alone when it comes to doing stuff like this, so I have to make due with what I got.

19Cutlass94 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 maybe it was a 13mm Im not sure, its on the same closed end wrench anyways. and x2 on the plastic tube on the bleeder. Keeps things nice and clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Matt... it's super easy to do. Just go and look. Like 4 bolts total, plus the actual brake line itself. You will have to rebleed the entire brake system afterwards. IIRC, it's 13mm, but I could be wrong. It could be 12mm as Jay listed above. And, that self bleeder kit does help a ton!

1990lumina Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I think it's a 13mm as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCGUY112887 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Maybe a pair of pliers to help pull around the ebrake cable if it gives you trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 ohh, and some brake fluid from bleeding the brakes/replacing the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
