If it's the same as the M, it's a 7MM

Stubby 7mm Allen
You'll need a stubby 7mm Allen 3/8" socket to access the top guide pin on the rear calipers. Snap-on FAMXS7E or Stahlwille 3049 work well for me.

Too long
Quote:
The Snap-On is 1.25 inches long and the Stahlwille is only one inch long. Either work well with a HF 3/8ths quick release ratchet: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=40591

yah it is too long to fit.. but its possible.. just use the wrench to losen it.. then remove it only with the socket.. not with the wrench..
just put some cooper grease to the pads and sand them down after track day.. (it was making the most annoying squeak in the world), hopefully this fixes it. |
