You will need aÊ7mm Allen wrench key to remove the front brake pads on a 2001 Clio. The Allen wrench can be purchased at any auto parts store.
how do you change front brake pads on a 2001 kia optima

It would be either a 15 mm wrench or a 7mm Allen key.
it is an Allen wrench not a TORX socket
T55
Metric Allen wrench.
Lift the vehicle on a car jack, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/caliper, and remove the old brake pad. Put in a new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, replace the tire, lower the vehicle to the ground.
Lift the car with a car jack, remove the tire and set it aside, remove the brake shoe/caliper, and remove the old brake pad. Put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, put the tire back on the car and lower the car to the ground.
I believe that's a 5/16 Allen.
7mm
Lift the car on a car jack, remove the tire off the car, remove the brake shoe/caliper and remove the old brake pad. Next put in the new brake pads, put the brake shoe/caliper in its place, put the tire back on the car and slowly lower the car to the ground.
i just changed my front rotors and pads on my 2001 escape, 6 cylinder. everyone was wrong on the wrench sizes, including the idiots at my local ford dealer. to get the brake calipers off I needed a 7mm hex bit. to get the caliper bracket off I needed an 18mm socket, it was a very easy job but check your wrench sizes first, it seems that every year and model uses different sizes.
