Hey there. Anyone know the size of the torx bit required to remove the rear calipers?
Thanks,

Its a T45 is the plug is dirty and you can't tap in a T50. If the Bolt is clean and rust free, take a T50 line it up with the hole and use the side of the ratchet to tap it in. A T50 is your best bet.
Just to make sure, try and poke your head around the back and make sure it is even a torx. Over the lives of Fiero's some people have changed the Torx bolts to large Allen bolts, especially if the Grand Am Calipers added. Hey Chay, can I send you the club scan tool, and have you take a look at it. Can I just use the address on the envelop of cables you sent. Thanks for the cables by the way, they got here I just have not found an old laptop to test them with. All of our current lappys have USB and no standard com ports. |

Thanks for the info guys. I bought a decent set and should be ok...they were pricey though.
Dave, you can definately send the scan tool to the address on the envelope. I'll see what I can do.
