Trouble removing star bolt on front brakes on 2000 chevy 1500. T-50 star socket fits loose and next size to big. Do they come in metric sizes? Or am I doing something wrong?
YES THEY COME IN METRIC SIZES. AND,MOST GM PRODUCTS ARE ALL METRIC THESE DAYS. GET A MERTIC SET. YOU WILL ALWAYS USE THEM AGAIN. TOOLS ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT.
The right size is T55 clean internal star out well with a pick tap the head with hammer to try to help break it free. If you have already striped it with a t50 bit try using a sharp chisel and a hammer to form a notch in the side of the head of the bolt than use a blunt chisel and a hammer to try to turn it out. Good Luck !
