Hello, I need to know the size of the head on the brake caliper bolts on the car listed above (Continental) so I can find the matching torque wrench if anyone knows it.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

The original caliper slid pins were a 10mm. The problem is, if someone has replaced them, often times the new ones are a different size. If you need to know torque, the locating pins are 40-60 ft lbs.

Do not know if you need it, but here are directions for replacing brakes:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
