I REPEAT THERE IS ANOTHER BOLT THAT YOU TAKE OFF TO REMOVE THE CALIPER!!!! its just a regular bolt that comes off alot easier. my old man thought it was the torx bolt too but after breaking too wrenches and me insisting that a different bolt took it off we tried another. try looking at the layout of the caliper and whats its attached too. if you cant find it get a kid who knows nothing about cars to see if he figure out the disassembly.if i remember correctly the bolt im talking is about 2 to 3 inches away from the torx bolt. and its not a stupid question because i haven't seen a post that explains this correct way too take it off. it alot easier this way and does less damage to the caliper.
So you found out the info discussed for a 97 is different than the 94, very observant!
