I've got a 2002 Buick Century Custom w/ 148000 miles and a 3.1L V6. I am going to be replacing the front hub assemblies and I would like to know what size Torx bit I'll need to get the calipers off. Also, does Chilton's still publish repair manuals? I've been unable to find any of their manauls for anything newer than 2000. I think the Chilton's manuals put the Hayne's books to shame. Thanks for your help!

You should not need a torx socket to do that repair. The caliper and the caliper bracket are both held on with 15mm bolts. The hub itself is bolted to the spindle with 13mm bolts. make sure that you use locktight on the bolts or replace them if called for...
