This week, I have changed the brake pads on two vehicles that I have never worked on before. I jack them up and get in there with a full set of Allen keys and small wrenches within reach. I look and see if it needs an Allen key or wrench and approximately what size. Then I try tools that may fit till I find the correct one -usually within 2 tries. - This is not a complicated exercise. . . .
Loosen and remove the caliper retaining bolts. Torx T-40 or T-45
7mm Allen wrench
9mm
I believe it is a 7mm hex.
What kind of wrench is needed to loosen the oil filter in a Mercedes Benz ml?"
For the caliper mount bolts that are removed during a brake pad change, 1/2" is a good fit on my 1996 F250. 13mm will fit but is a little sloppy. Were you asking about the "caliper bracket" instead?
Should be 10mm or 3/8ths Actually, it turned out to be 7mm Allen wrench.
I believe that may be 7mm Allen.
7 mm Allen wrench
The calipers need a 7 mm hex wrench. The Caliper holder to remove the rotors takes an 18mm socket. This is a 2003 Ford escape..apparently it's the same as a Mazda tribute.
Metric Allen wrench.
You need a 15 mm regular wrench.
