Front Brake Trouble

[Johnny_Sebring]

My wife drives a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2.7, and the other weekend I was attemping to replace her front brakes and front rotors. I took the wheel off removed the anti rattle clip, and removed the protective caps for the caliper guide pins. Once I tried removing the guide pins none of my allen wrenches fit in the whole, one was too small, and the other was too big, is there a special size needed to remove these pins? Are the guide pins an allen size, or are they torex? I feel dumb for asking how to remove caliper guide pins because I've done this many times and other vehicles, but I figure instead of frustrating myself too much I'll ask for help. So any help anyone could give I will greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks!

It's an odd size, something like 7mm, I don't remember exactly but I remember that it was a size that never seems to be included in a set. Anyway, it's metric, so you'll need a metric set. If your set is metric and it's between two of your sizes, go to Sears or someplace where they'll sell you the one in between.
