I am going to replace a co-workers front brakes on his 1996 Blazer and I want to make sure I have the proper tool to remove the calipers.
What size bolt head is the caliper bolt or is it a allen head bolt or a torx head bolt??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, It's a T-60 torx. It's been a little while since I've dealt with GM brakes. I bet you could call a GM service dept. close to you and get a definite answer..

That's interesting. My '97 Blazer has 3/8" Allen head bolts, as most GM products do. (I'm the original owner, and nobody but me has touched the brakes).

You could be right. I've been workin on chryslers too long..

Yes. A 3/8 allen wrench. Between my 95 S-10 from 95 until 2000 and my 96 blazer since 2000 I've done my share of brakes. Absolutely the 3/8 allen wrench. Don't forget cleaner, fine sand paper and grease for the pins or they will surely bind and cause premature break wear.

3/8 hex. the t-60 was on the gm w-bodys front brakes
