How big are caliper bushing pins on a jeep?
The Caliper bushing pins are allen head sockets, and use a proprietary size, none of the common sizes fit properly, but I was able to remove and install them using a 7/16″ allen key, even though it was loose in the socket I was able to get it done without damage. The next higher size, metric or standard was too big and wouldn’t fit.
How big are the bolts for front brakes?
Used a 12 point 16mm socket for the front bracket bolts, and a T… 50 (i think) torx for the front caliper pins. Going to need to get some new hardware next time. Gonna see if there are “normal” aftermarket replacements.
When do I change the bolts on my front brakes?
The bolts must have changed in the later years, MY14 seems to be when a lot changes took place, that might be the cut-off year. Its at least 2016-2018. My 2011 without a doubt is a typical 6 sided bolt head, holding the caliper bracket/adapter to the steering knuckle.
How big is an allen wrench for a caliper?
They is a raised edge above the Allen sockets. Real hard to get to or see. A 3/8’s sloppy, a 10mm sloppy, 12mm & 1/2in no fit. There 1/2 sizes? Another special “Ford Tool”? Sears and Napa have up to 3/8’s “Caliper bits” try the 9mm. Bigger then a 10mm. Which is the bigest size they sell. A 12mm is way too big. Went thru all the mm and SAE sizes.

Can you replace a caliper with a 10mm bolt?
But don’t even remove them, the pads can be replaced with the bracket still on the caliper. So remove the two 18mm bolts and remove the complete caliper/bracket as an assembly. A 10mm does not work.
