Hi Chaps,

Newbie here. Help!

I need to get some tools:-

I need to get the rear calipers off the hub on my 97 p38a - they are held on with an M12 I believe, with a multi-point head on it.
Q1 of 2: Can anyone tell me exactly what that head is? I need to get a socket to suit. Are there any others like this that I need special tools for?

Annnnndddddd......

Q2 of 2: What size are the 97 brake unions - are they 3/8 UNF x 24 or 10mm metrics?

Again - I need to get some bits & bobs.


Is there a tech data repository somewhere with this kind of info in it?

Thanks in advance.....

Castor (wobbly at the mo.)

Thanks,

Agree wholeheartedly - this is why I am so pernickerty about getting the right kit - there is nothing like the right tool etc etc etc. Given their corrosion status, however, the right tool might turn out to be an angle grinder.....
