brakes and rotors on 2001 sunfire gt

[kgem619]

So, I go to start to change my brakes and rotors when I get stuck basically at the beginning. Does anybody know whether the bolt holding on the caliper uses a torx wrench or an allen key? and what size? It almost seems as tho its a torx and is caked with so much dirt and grime that it has the appearance of an allen key. Being i cant get my head back there, the best i could do is feel around and shove some clay in there to see what shape the impression was haha. If you have any ideas i'd appreciate it!

I also have a sunfire as well. Plus I'm a tech at a shop. It is a allen key, but its a odd ball size. Your local parts place will have the proper tool for it. Also, turn the wheel so you can see alot better. To get all the dirt out, use wd-40 and just let it sit. When you take out the pins for the caliper, do not use anti-seize on them. Anti-seize swells any rubber. Use proper brake silicone. Your part store will have that as well.
