7mm
How do you adjust the emergency brake cable on a 1995 Ford Escort GT I need to know how to adjust the cable not the hand releaseapplie lever?
there should be an adjusting nut on the e- brake line If this is a disc brake e-brake there is a Alan wrench adjuster behind the brake piston of the caliper located by the brake cable braket. Unscrew the bolt and insert an Alan wrench. Turn right to tighten, or left to loosen. Drum brakes have a 10 mm nut under the plastic cover over the lever This connects directly to the cable lefty loosey deep socket helps
Do you need special tools to take off the brake calipers?
It requires a socket that basically has a large Alan wrench tip on it.
How do you fix an emergency brake that worked before new brake pads were installed on a 1992 Ford Escort GT?
New rear brake adjustmentsIf you noticed, the new pads are thicker than your old ones. at least they should be or they didn't need replaced. you haave to readjust the tension on the brake cable going from your hand brake , to your rear wheels. You have to spread the brakes back out with a brake spreader, $10.00 at any part store. Before you do this, you have to lossen the parking brake adjuster with an Alan wrench. It is located behind the piston. You have to unscrew the 1/2" bolt to get to it. Unscrew it to the left all the way, spread the brakes, install the new ones, then replace the caliper and screw the Alan wrench back to the right until the brakes snug up.
Is a tension wrench and an Alan wrench the same thing?
No. It is not.
How do you change the front rotors on a 1996 GM Chevy Sierra?
Changing Disc rotors on a 88 - 97 GMCIt is very simple. All you have to do is remove your tire. Then on the back side of your brake caliper there are two screws you will need a 3/8" Alan wrench or equivalent. After that you can simply pull the caliper off of the rotor and then slide the rotor off. If you do not want to bleed your brakes then you can simple take a 3" C-clamp and tighten the caliper back. This will allow you to put new brakes on your new rotor without bleeding the lines.
How do you change the front brakes on a 2000 jetta?
hope this helps....you will most likely need a 7mm Alan wrench....remove the 2 slides and pull the caliper off. the pads should pop right out. then compress the piston on the caliper using a compression tool or a c-clamp would work. replace with your new pads and make sure to use caliper lube on your contact points (anywhere the pads touch the caliper) on the drivers side do the same but you will need a small flat head screw driver to disconnect the sensor. put the sensor pad on the inside and put your caliper bace on. pump your brake pedal about 5 times without the car started or un till you have a good pedal.......good luck

How do you change the front brake pads on a 1985 Pontiac Firebird including releasing the pressure of the caliper?
I don't know exactly how to do it on that particular car without looking at it, but in general disc brakes are all pretty much the same. Just remove the two bolts holding the calipar to steering nuckle, its probably an Alan in that car. take the caliper off, it may be tight. Use a C-clamp and one of the old pads and compress the cylinder of the caliper all the way back. It should be tight, but not really tight. If you have a lot of trouble getting it to compress, then the caliper is no good. lube all the slides for the bolts, I think there are 2 little cylinders that go around the two main bolts. clean them and lube them before putting the caliper back on. replace the brake pads and put the caliper back on and put the bolts back and tighten. When you compress the cylinder in the caliper, brake fluid may start coming out of the master cylinder. Don't worry, your just pushing all the fluid back up, and if there is too much in there, it comes out the top of the master cylinder, but this doesn't hurt anything.
How do you replace a brake caliper on an m reg ford escort mk6?
first jack up the car and remove front wheel and then put a big screw driver down the side of the brake pad to push the hydrolic piston back a bit so its easy to remove (caliper) then loosen the top Alan key stud at top of caliper then remove split pin and rod from the bottom of caliper and lift the caliper up (a bit like how a visor goes up on a moter bike helmet) and when its raised it will pull off. fit your other one with the above instructions in reverse then bleed the air out of your brakes (don't forget to undo the hose to caliper.you can clamp tjhe brike pipe hose with mol grips so you don't loose all your brake fluid out but you will still need to bleed the system after .do this by undoing the bleed nipple on caliper one full turn and get some one sitting in the car to press the brake peddle for you.so when you undo the nipple get them to press the brake peddle to the floor and hold then you retighten nipple and they release the peddle and then when you undo again the nipple get them to do the same again.its done like this so air don't suck back in and remember to leave the brake fluid lid off whilst doing all this and keep it topped up.each wheel has to be redone starting furthest away from where you put in fluid. when you think air is out of every caliper and rear brakes a fine jet of fluid will shoot outwith no air anymore hope this helps you if your stuck Justin.hall57@ntlworld.com
