Hi all,
Well the story goes thus, after changing a few sensors to remedy my fast idle I decided to get my tires changed, whilst at the garage it was pointed out that my brake rotors are wearing thin and need changing. So off I trudged to buy new rotors and today decided to set about changing them... or not as the case turned out.
After undoing the overly tight wheel bolts (garage tightened) & removing the brake pads I went to remove the two bolts securing the calliper so as to remove the discs and fell flat on my face.
This is where I need help, It turns out the bolts securing the calliper are of the star shape kind and low and behold you guessed it I do not have a tool to remove them.
So here lies the conundrum. What I need to know is this, if I purchase a T 30 wrench will it do the job or are the bolts removed with another type of wrench they have round edges and cannot be removed with a normal spanner or grip wrench as I have tried.
Help needed and much appreciated.
Cheers
Pitpan.
