Hi guys, this is my first post here. Looks like a great board!

My daughter has a 95 Stang that I have been trying to change the front pads on. Are there any tricks to breaking the caliper bolt loose? I have already destroyed one T-50 Torx bit on it. Thanks for the help.

I'm almost hesitant to post this since it seems too obvious. On my '93 the bolt has a torx center, but you can put a socket on the outside. That's how I got it off. I assume the '95's aren't that way?!?!

Thanks for the welcome, 68.

GT, the bolt head is to the inside of the wheel well, and I couldn't see it very well. I will check to see if a socket will go on it. Thanks.
