16V Brake caliper help.

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i think its a 13 or a 14 mm. you don't need to get any large amt of torque
on that specific nut, you onlt need to stop it from spinning so you can
loosten the other nut. i used to use a set of needlenose vice grips, worked
just fine.

p.s. be sure to disassemble and lube the slide pins while you have them all
apart.
