i did the brakes on my 93 a few months ago so i dont remember exactly but i do know that i didnt use any special tools. just regular wrenches and allen keys. i did have to put a big box end wrench on the end of the key and use my foot to break the caliper bolt loose though!

oh i forgot to mention, are you trying metric and standard sizes? i dont remember which one type the bolts are but make sure you try both types.

they were just real hard to get loose cuz they prob werent taken off in a long time. i just used a wrench for leverage and kicked it loose. spray some bust rust too.

you can get 3/8 inch drive sockets with the allen ends on them, thats what we used at work and thats what i have here in my garage, with a good rachet you can break almost anything loose.

I had that problem on my oldsmobile.....I couldn't get a right size allen key. So i took vise grips and clamped it on the head of the bolt and went to town. THEN after i got the caliper off my dad went into his van and got the right size out of his box. :evil: that ****er
