my ex wife just totalled out the 01 we has nad bought a 97 lxi? town and country with the insurnace money since my kids our involved I need to replace the pads and rotors since I am driving there from across town and only have limited space in my neon what are the calipers bolt sizes ?
Thanks appreciate any info

 

10 mm if they are original

 

Thats what I thought Thanks I appreciate it

 

12mm as i just remembered last night when I took a reman-caliper off my old van to put on my current one....

 

Sorry to hear about your life difficulties. Protect those kids. Good luck with the brake work.

My 2002 has the Teves system which has a 7 mm Allan type insert (pin instead of bolt).
My Jeep (has 2 bolts) takes a 13 mm socket. I would say 13 mm for you as well but floorslayer1 could be right at 12 mm.

Added Information:
- If doing a lot of Van workyourself, A Haynes Service Manual, at less than $30.00, is a great investment. A lot of the general diagnostic type info could be used for your Neon as well.
- The Auto Zone procedure for doing your brakes, including torque specs and lubricants to use,can be found at http://www.autozone.com/shopping/rep...00c1528003c82f Note: The 16 ft.lbs. for the bolts sounds low to me compared to 26 ft.lbs for my Van.
- I would stay away from petroleum based lubricants for a couple of reasons (gum up & not fully rubber compatible). The synthetics such as Permatex Brake Lube, are recommended for a better job.

Again, good luck with the brake work.

 

No It was definately 12mm. Pins were new when I put them on that van (came with loaded calipers) and had not been off since I put them on. My Dakota had 13mm... One of my ford cars had 8mm..... I know they all are different, but I've had 3 97's and the originals have always been 10mm
