Hey guys, im changing my brakes this week, but all my tools are home at mass. so will be going to home depo to buy what i need. Anyone know the exact size tools i need ( sockets and allen's)? Thanks guys!

i dont know whats bolts are on the caliper but you should need a caliper spreader.

BUMP...

come on guys, i dont want to have to crawl under the truck to see what i need. im assuming its just a Allen to take off the calipers right? anyone know at least if its standard or metric?

Tools required:

1. Center punch – 3/16” suggested, but smaller is OK
2. Hammer
3. 21mm socket (I use this fancy socket set from Griot's Garage to avoid scratching the wheels)
4. Torque wrench
5. Floor jack

Optional tools:

6. Pad/piston spreader tool (See: Pad Spreader Tool for details)
7. Air impact wrench


Dont forget to lube the caliper pins while your at it

Thats it for the pads... i need to take the calipers off, im putting new rotors on.

should be these 2 big arse bolts, just unbolt and slide the caliper off, and dont let it hang by the hose,

I know what bolts they are, just trying to find out what size... i dont feel like going and buying 10 different wrenches when i only need one...

the caliper bolts are 7/8th's

Should the caliper pins be lubed if you are installing new calipers & pads as well? What product should be used?

yes....caliper grease(synthetic)
