The hex size to remove the brake caliper on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee is typically 17mm or 11/16 inches.
It's important to use the correct size socket or wrench to remove the brake caliper, as using the wrong size can cause damage to the caliper and/or the brake system.
When removing the brake caliper, it's important to take the proper precautions to prevent damage to the brake system and ensure safe operation of the vehicle. Always support the caliper with a wire or a bungee cord to prevent it from hanging by the brake hose.
Additionally, it's recommended that you work on one brake at a time, so that you have a reference point for the position of the caliper and the brake pads.
Besides regular hand tools and socket sets, the first thing you will see are the front caliper retaining bolts or screws. GM cars often used large hex key fittings to loosen those, but expect anything on the caliper bolts, a lot of variation between years and models.
Your very best tool is a repair manual for the rendezvous, with step by step instructions. They cost about 26-30 dollars.
caliper or most brake part bolts are between 10mm and 19mm for the wheel bolts , get a set online if haven't got tools , don't waste time and money just trying to get a particular size as many different manufacturers are used for the same part and may just get one that uses a different bolt head size
You need a socket with an allen/hex bit. Not sure about the size of the hex bit you will have to figure that out yourself. There are 2 scews holding the on calipers.
They are on the back of the caliper toward the engine, find the proper size hex socket. They sale a set of the sockets at Autozone for around $10, 3/8 inch drive. Thats the best way to go.
Hello rcvez
Without a model and year I can only give you a general description on how to change chevy calipers.
Jack up the left front and put a stand under it, then remove the wheel. Turn the wheel all the way to the right
On the back of the caliper you'll see 2 female hex bolts(allen head) the size should be 5/16 or 3/8, use a
male hex socket or an allen wrench to remove the bolts, if you use an allen wrench you may have to give
it a couple of wacks with a hammer to loosen them up. Now use a pry bar work the top and bottom of the
caliper and walk it off the roter, set the caliper aside so not to strech the hose. Next, put the new pads in
the new caliper and bolt it up to the bracket, remove the hose from the old caliper and bolt it to the new
caliper, be sure the bolt is clean and use the new copper washer that came with the caliper. Now repeat
this on the right side, bleed the brakes and thats it. Hope this is helpful.
the caliper removal bolts are 3/8'' hex key style. it's one of the few bolts on the car that aren't metric. you can get this tool in a hex key socket [1/2'' drive] for easier removal of the bolts.
205-2017 MB ML350 Caliper Bolts are 9mm Allen Type (Hex) socket.
