Caliper bolt tool?

[Josh@Renparts]

What tool is it i need for removal of calipers on my 1.4 16v? is it a torx bit? if so what size. Can't seem to find one the right size.... and where can i order online?
thanks

18mm socket, 17mm spanner, 13mm spanner

no torx bits needed (unless you mean to remove discs?)

 

[Josh@Renparts]

no on the calipers themselves.. there are 2 bolts which need a 6 sided bit to remove then...

 

[Fred@BTM]

also known as a socket!

no torx bits on or near the calipers

 

[Josh@Renparts]

like i said a bit.... IE one that fits in a hole that has 6 sides... not one that fits round the piece of hardware in question.... which would be a socket. My local garage told me its a torx bit but i can't seem to find one the right size for sale on its own only in sets..

get me a pic, i have no idea what you're on about

i've NEVER seen what you're talking about and i've worked on a shitload of clios

 

[ben_p]

yer i havent seen it either, its all bolts

like an allen key?

i mean Hex key....

which is how most callipers that i have come in contact with are attatched to the strut

 

[Fred@BTM]

not on the clios they ain't, 18mm bolts

 

[JAMESSRICH]

he means the two bolts directly behind the piston - not the teo 13mm bolts that hold the caliper to the carrier

like the two bolts in the pic??? but obviously the caliper is seperated

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Im aiming for the wrong items to change the pads? thats what im reffering to...

 

[JAMESSRICH]

to change pads you need a 13mm and a 17mm spanner

 

[ben_p]

to change the pads u should only need to remove the 2 13mm bolts on the back of the caliper and just push the piston back then fit the pads then bolt the carrier on

Ideal! sorry about the confusion.... thankyou boys..
