Toyota Repair: 99 Toyota Camry brake pad replacement, toyota camry, metric socket


Question
I am trying to replace the brake pads on my '99 Toyota Camry 6-cylinder and started with the rear.  My question is, "There is a bolt and a torx bit.  I need to know the size of both of these so that I can purchase the appropriate metric socket and bit needed."  Thank you for your help.

Answer
To just replace the brake pads all you have to do is to remove the two 14mm bolts for the caliper, there is no torx bolt that heeds to be removed, you may have to remove the 12mm bolt that holds the brake line on to the bracket, once the caliper is off compress the piston back in with large channelock pliers.
