Hi guys, I am changing the front rotors and pads on my car it is a convertible and I do not know the metric sizes for the allen wrenches and bolts. What size is the allen wrench for caliper slide bolts? What size is the socket for caliper bracket bolts? And what size is the allen wrench for rotor hold down bolts? Is there a specific torque for all three areas rotor hold down, caliper slide and caliper bracket bolts? Thank you guys for your time. And your video is perfect cut and dry with no round about complications.

Hello,

We are glad you liked the video. The Allen size for the caliper is 10mm here are some diagrams that have the torque specs.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
