The calipers on the '07 expedition require an allen wrench type tool to remove, I bought about eight different sizes and they are either too big or too small. Can you tell me the exact size I need to remove the calipers?

I'm sorry but no. I have read manuals and they have told me a size and when I got down to the nitty gritty and started to work on it they where totally wrong. I found out the best way to get the correct one is to measure one I am working on from point to point all the way round the bolt and i was correct 99 percent of the time. I have found out that if I use a ratchet and socket with a star it is easier and with less effort. Contact me if you need more help. Thank you

A 9mm should fit the brake caliper pins on your expedition.

What size allen wrench do I need to remove the front brake calipers

I'm not sure of the size. I have an allen socket made for GM brake calipers!! But i would guess it is a metric size, maybe a 12 mm. Call an auto parts store and they can pull the tool and tell you with a phone call. Good luck.

What tool do I need to remove front caliper on 2001? Allen or star tool and what size?

First, you you managed to give the year, but you forgot to mention MAKE and MODEL...Nice-to-know ...especially since you are asking for SPECIFIC information that does not apply to all vehicles.
Second, I have no idea what a "star" tool is unless you are refering to a "Torx" driver.
Third, MOST GM vehicles built in this century require neither an Allen wrench or a Torx driver. Most calipers can be removed with either a 15mm or a 13mm socket or wrench.
I would recommend removing the tire and wheel assembly to LOOK at the caliper and see what is holding it.

What size torx is needed to remove the front brake caliper on a 2005 dodge durango

Hi,
It requires a special size that comes as a socket type from the parts store. I believe is is a TORX 45. But, usually you can fit and allen wrench into the torx hole to remove them. I have used 5/16",3/8",8mm and 9mm allens to do the job on various vehicles and it worked out great.
Hope that helps!...Mike

What special tools are required to change the rear brakes of a 2002 mazda protege?

If it is a rear disc brake system, the only special tool would be an allen wrench:

Turn the manual adjustment gear counterclockwise with an Allen wrench to pull the caliper piston inward (turn until it stops).

If it is a drum type brake system...no special tools...just a screwdriver, pliers....

Putting new brakes on my 1999 Dodge Ram1500

You will also need 5" clamp, screw type to compress calipers, be careful to slightly loosen the bleed screw while doing so or ABS system could be adversly affected. Allen wrench should be a 5/16 but the sell just a single wrench to do the job if it a bigger size. You will also need to figure out how to remove the allen head bolt, I use box end wrench on the allen wrench to torque long end down.
