I have a 2003 Escape and it took a 7 mm socket.
21mm socket and breaker bar to remove lug nuts, and a 17mm socket to remove the two caliper bracket bolts, and a 14mm socket or wrench to remove caliper from bracket. you will also need a c-clamp to shove caliper back.
A 3/8" Allen socket or wrench will work.
7mm hex socket
your going to need a t-40 torx socket.
The calipers need a 7 mm hex wrench. The Caliper holder to remove the rotors takes an 18mm socket. This is a 2003 Ford escape..apparently it's the same as a Mazda tribute.
Try a TORX T-40 or 45 Many second generation Expeditions (2003-2006) use a 9mm to remove the front caliper and a 7mm for the rear.
use an Allen wrench not a socket or open or box wrench.
in order to remove the rear caliper, you first remove the parking brake cable using a 14mm socket to remove the bolt. After removing the parking brake you can remove the caliper carrier, using a 17mm socket to remove the two caliper carrier bols this allows you to remove the caliper from the rear rotor, you can slide the caliper off of the carrier to remove it completely. to remove the rotor you can use a soft faced mallet and gently tap the inside of it and it should come right off.
I just did my 2005 Ford Escape front brakes and the caliper was 7mm Allen and main holder is 18mm ...RRR Wis.'
the caliper bolts require a 3/8" Allen wrench. You can buy these as a socket at just about any parts store.
Lug Wrench to remove tire & Wheel Socket Wrench or Hex Wrench to remove Caliper bolts Large "C" clamp to collapse caliper piston Rags, and a good spray brake cleaner
