I'm in need of alittle info. I have to replace the front pads and rotors on my daughters 2003 Escape, I need to know what size the Allen wrench is to remove the caliber, I know its smaller then 5/16 but not sure if it metric or not. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Next size down is 1/4" standard, but most cars now are metric so 5/16 is close to 8mm so try 7mm or 6mm.

Well 1/4 is to small, so I guess were looking at metric. The largest one I have is 7mm so I guess I will go out and get a 8&9 mm. This is crazy, my chevy is cut and dry at using a 3/8 allen.
Thanks for your responce.
