1996 2.0litre Front Brake Calipers

[perplexed147]

Hello all and thanks for looking at my thread. I went to chane my brake pads on the front this morning but couldn't get the 2 bolt undone to seperate the caliper i can't work out what size of tool i need and if its an allen key or hez because of these silly rubber sleeves covering the bolt head. I was tempted to cut them off but thought i'd better not. Also i've just read in another thread that some pads should come with wires to connect to the warning light system. Should these front pads have this becuase i don't think mine have!

 

Many Thanks and thank you in advance.

Hi there

Should be a plastic cap on the end of rubber sleeve, just flip it off then you need a 7mm allan key, not all cars have the wear leads depends on the car's spec
