I started this project with a set of Allen wrenches but didn't have the 9/32" that was required....

So I just thought I'd mention that you need a 9/32" Allen wrench to remove the caliper on the 2002 Dodge Dakota and it isn't the most common in standard sets so make sure you have one before you pop the tires off and have no other vehicle to run out to the store...

Comment to above: I was able to find a 7 mm hex head socket that worked.

Answerhaha... if u want to remove them to replace worn pads, u need a set of Allen wrenches, a pry bar or LONG screwdriver (not to big), and quite possibly, a can of good penatrating spray such as PB Blaster. If u are takein them off completely, add a pair of Side Cutters...

actually could be 1 of 3 different tools to remove the calipers ..they used torx,Allen and socket wrenches ..could be any of the above ..gm is the one that mostly used the t50 Allen wrenches

Probably a T45 torx.

How do you remove front rotors on a 2002 dodge Dakota 4wd?

Should be 'slip on' type retained only by wheelnuts and the brake caliper. Jack up the front end and support safely on blocks or stands. Then remove the wheels. Now remove the brake calipers (usually 2 7mm hex key bolts per caliper) and hang them up with wire. Do not let calipers hang by the brake hose! Also do not allow the brakes to be applied without the rotor between the brake pads! Now the rotor should slide right off the hub. Installation is same steps in reverse.
