I used a 55 torx key and removed one of the bolts but stripped the other. DOn't use a Torx. It is a 10 hex(metric)
This is how you will replace the front brakes on a 2000 Saturn Sc first you will jack the car up with jack stands. You will then remove the front wheels, next remove the upper caliper to mount bolt only. Then you will pivot the caliper downward to access the pads, you will remove the old pads and install the new pads. You will use a 'C' clamp and a old pad to bottom the caliper piston and you will pivot the caliper back into place and re-install the bolt.
A 3/8" Allen wrench will remove that bolt on the front caliper.
Brake caliper to carrier front & rear are both 22-32Nm

The bleeder valve is a 8mm bolt for the rears located on top of the drum or on the caliper itself if you have disk rear brakes. For the front, a 10mm bolt is located on the caliper itself. PB blaster should be used to be sure the bleeder valve is not broken
If memory serves, 18mm. That would be the bracket bolt. The caliper bolt has a 9mm thread.
The Rear Caliper Bottom Bolt head size is 12 mm. The Top bolt is enclosed only making it a slide bolt therefore you cant and really have no need to remove it. So the only bolt you should remove is the bottom 12mm head bolt. Then there will be a 14mm bolt that will hold the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket to the Caliper. Loosen this bolt and remove the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket from the Caliper. Then pry the bottom of the caliper up off the disc. This will allow you to swing the caliper up then push the caliper back to slide the caliper off the enclosed bolt slide at the top of the caliper. This will allow access to the inside and outside pads to remove them and allow you to press and rotate the Piston (Push and Twist-in Pistons) back into the Caliper with the right Brake Caliper Compression tool. The rear two Caliper Bracket bolt head sizes are 18mm. You must remove the Caliper bracket in order to remove the rear brake disc. The Front Brake Caliper Bolt is a 3/8" Allen head bolt. There will be two bolts holding the front calipers to the Spindle. The Front calipers are standard push-in Pistons.
im not sure but i do know you can put an ion quad coupe trans mission in it ,just swap the front bellhousings and it will bolt right up with no mount modifications

Remove the caliper and pad bracketas. Then remove the 5mm Allen bolt holding the rotor on.....If the rotor is rusted you may have to beat it off with a hammer
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.
Just remove the bolt that you can get to. You then rotate the caliper on the other bolt until it will clear the disc. You then just slide the caliper off of the other bolt.
