I was getting ready to do my front brakes on my 2002 mazda protege LX and when I took the wheels off and looked at the caliper bolts it looks like it takes an allen wrench i'm just not sure what size it needs, can someone please inform me of the size or tool i need to take these off i'm in dire need of new pads. Thanks, Ashton.

its something wacky, like an 11mm or something like that. get one of those metric allen wrench sets, and make sure it has some big ones in it and you should be covered.
