petes21st how do i get the front caliper off to change the brake pads? i cant seem to remove the guide pins
petes21st hmmm strange my 8mm hex key seemed to fit in the hole but was too small, and my 10mm was too big, hmmm how funny.
vocky might be a 9mm dunno.. which are quite rare to find :roll: I got one from an engineering shop 🙂
vocky petes21st said: a 9mm for definate? if so im phoning screwfix long time since I changed the discs on mine, but I do have a 7mm + 9mm allen key in my tool box cheers..
vocky petes21st said: im sure i tried a 7mm, im talking about on a vectra possibly depends where the vectra was built (German or UK) dunno..
Europa_Blue_SE1 I had to buy the caliper removal key from Halfords for the Coupe it's a 7mm same as my wee bros Veccy B... I had a c**t of a time trying all diferent sizes of Allen keys thought it was an 8mm but was just a touch to big but the key I got from Halfords worked no probs...
vocky I have used my 9mm on vx calipers, can't remember if it was my vec :oops: edit: I'm sure it was a 7mm notsure.gif
Hareng The internal hex wouldnt be kna..ered would it or even the 7mm allen key worn, grind it back until sharp.
