What size tools do I need?

[pirho451]

Hey guys,

I need to replace the front brake pads this weekend and I can't remember what size allen wrench I need to remove the caliper. The Chilton manual I have for it makes no mention to what size it is.

Also, I need to replace the oil sending unit on this engine. Does anyone know what size socket that thing takes? I could just use a pipe wrench on it but I'd feel better about using the right tool for the job.

Thanks!
Jonathan

Allen wrench??? That's News to me.
I just did my brakes a week ago and I used a Number 55 TORX bit.

Hmm... Well a T55 just might work... though I know we did use an allen wrench last time. It's probably close enough in size that it worked.

They're Torx bolts, and I'd strongly try to persuade you from using an Allen wrench, if you incorrectly match it, you'll tear the head up and have more trouble.
