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!

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.  that ****er
