DIY INSTALL/REVIEW: Dezod X-Rated Yaris Brake Pads - Toyota Yaris Forums

chasehouse · 03-17-2013, 05:40 AM

Does anyone know what kind of tool is needed to remove the caliper retaining bolts. I tried to fit new pads yesterday, and was told that the bolts are slackened with regular 14 mm socket, but when I looked I found a rubber or neoprene cover with a plug to stop dirt getting in. The head of the bolt is covered, and I didn't want to damage the rubber cover by prising it off. I tried a variety of sockets and Allen keys to no avail. The car is a French built Yaris 2007 model with the 3 cylinder engine. I've asked loads of people but nobody has any idea what kind of bolts they are.
