Changing front brake pads - slide socket?
Hey guys,

I hope somebody can help out. I'm in the middle of changing my front brake pads, and I can't get any hex wrench/torx to fit in the slide socket. What type is it??? It's as if it's a 9mm or something, and I've never seen such a key/socket!!

Thanks,

Mal.

Update to help anybody who hits this situation. My 06 Expy did indeed require a 9mm hex socket to remove/install the front pads. It's really hard to find (!). Borrowed one from a mechanic.
