what tool do I need to remove the calipers on my 2002

19mm socket to remove the bolts that mount the caliper to the strut.

you'll need an 11mm (i think) wrench to remove the brake lines from the caliper. if you can find a flare nut wrench, that works better but autozone, et al don't carry them in the correct size...at least i haven't been able to find 'em.

I hit Sears for an 11mm flare wrench, they only had one and it was mixed with another size so if you don't see it on the rack, check within the other sizes.

DON'T buy the SEARS flared wrench. I stripped more than a couple stubborn brake lines with it before I reluctantly bought a Snap-On (problem gone, now).

If you look carefully at the SEARS wrench you'll see that the edges of the contact surface are CHAMFERED which effectively decreases the contact surface holding the nut. I can't understand why they deemed it necessary to put such a large chamfer on it. suppose is gives it a more finished, and fuss-ed with look for store appeal...

I have not had any other problems with Craftsman tools, btw. good value for the most part. But the flared-end wrench is a different matter.

you can also buy just a regular 11mm wrench and chop out a little piece to make it a flare nut wrench. personally i used a craftsman 11mm standard wrench. it's a bit more of a pain, but it works just fine. although, i've replaced almost all of my lines with the "european" style steel lines from napa and they are all 10mm, so i don't have much of a problem anymore.
