Does anyone know the size/type of the bolts that hold the front calipers on a 02 civic LX? I don't really have the means to get the wheel off and check and I plan on doing the front pads this weekend. I'll only have access to the space for about an hour so I wanted to get the specific tools before hand instead of buy a whole set. Also if anyone has any links to an online service manual or online haynes manual please let me know. I tried to search but couldn't find any. Any help would be appreciated.

 

to the knuckle....17mm, the caliper slide bolts, 14mm. 19mm for your lug nuts, also grab a 12mm and a 10mm cause...well those bolts are all over Hondas.

 

looks like I'll be buying a metric set afterall. Thanks for the info

 

^^^Just to clarify, those are head sizes, not "bolt" sizes in the literal definition.
You need those wrenches and a 4" or larger C clamp to push the piston back in, you need a 10mm wrench (not socket) to work the front bleeder valve, 8mm for the rear bleeders.
The brake line you need a 14mm socket for the brake line if you're removing it.
If you're planning on doing any sort of considerable amount of work on the car, go buy a full set of 8-19mm sockets and wrenches.
Socket extensions and deep wells also help when doing the brakes.

 

I'm only doing the front pads so I won't need to bleed them unless I screw something up. I usually get two c-clamps, one to hold the caliper up and the other to push the pistons back in. I'll probably buy a metric set of deep sockets just to be sure. I just got spoiled always having my pop's tools and garage back home.
