I Just replaced the front brake pads on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. I also ran into an issue with removing the bolts that hold the calipers on. None of the Allen wrenches I had seemed to fit.

According to the guys at the auto parts store, the factory calipers are supposed to be bolted on using a T40 Torx but, they are not.

I went to the dodge dealer and spoke to a mechanic. The bolts are actually 7mm hex. I went and bought a 7mm hex driver and it fit perfectly.

You will also need to pop of the metal bracket that holds the caliper in place on the front of the roter.
