2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Caliper torx driver

[dvaughan]

I have a 2001 2500 with disc brakes all around and was wondering what size the torx diver is to remove(2 bolts that hold the it on) the calipers? I have looked through my manual and can not find it anywhere. I'm not sure if that is the correct (torx) spelling.

Are you sure they are torx? On mine they are allen head and the same on my Moms 99.

I think it is hexagonal, but i am 99% sure it is metric

MMclain, I think they are but will check tomorrow. It's raining like cats and dogs right now and its darkoutside. Beautiful B. C. weather

3/8" hex on my '95. . (and same as the man. trans. plug) . . I use a 3/8" drive socket type and with an old cheapo round handle 3/8" drive ratchet and a short piece of 1/2 galv. pipe for a breaker bar extension. It's come in very handy. JohnG

torx

Thanks for the replys everyone, I think Dodge changed back and forth from torx and Hex. Thanks Blue Beast and Bob Wagner for your torx size#45. I will go buy one.

Vaughan,



On My 01 ,..... if you are talking about the "Reverse Torx" looking bolt where it has a head sticking out and it is star shaped, then it is a end wrench, 12 point and If I remember correctly, is like a 16MM wrench but it is a 12 point wrench you use either a socket or end wrench... .

Torx #45 is a good one to have. . It also fits the tailgate cable bolts and the tailgate striker pins. . JG
