Brake hex socket, need quick help. V70-XC70 AWD R

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill on  Wed Nov 14 09:09 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Ok,

I'll be changing my rotors and pads this evening and I could only find a 7mm hex bit socket. Will that work as good as a 7 mm hex socket? I'd rather find out now than get into it and find out it doesn't work.

Thanks in Advance,

Bill in Denver

They stock them at Sears. It is a 3/8 drive 7mm allen wrench. They are available individually or as part of a set.

Hey Bill,

I'm not positive, but I think they're saying that you will need a hex bit inside a socket. The hex bit is kinda like cutting an Allen wrench off & putting it in a socket. Now again, I'm not positive; I'm saying this because I see that tool for sale in IPD catalogs often when working on brakes. Look into it before you start getting into it. Good luck!

I think what you're describing is one and the same.

there are 6 point and 12 point sockets, but only 6 point hex bits - the IPDUSA website probably has a picture of the one they sell. If it looks the same you're probably OK.
