98 corolla caliper banjo bolt size??

[ziggy]

hi again all I got all the parts to do new calipers on my front end. What size ishte banjobolt behnd brake hose line? I dont know ifi have the socket or wrench size. Iplanned on usng a small 1/4 drive ratchet. thye make them up too 14 mm ive seen. anything past that isa 3/8 drive, and seems too add too much torque then. r just using the approprate size wrench...
what size?

Ziggy, I'm gonna take a guess and say the Banjo Bolt Size is M10 x 1.0 x 23.37mm.

Also when you refer to bolt sizes, Merkava seems to refer to the thread diameter while you want the head diameter.

Drive size has little to do with torque. IE a 1/4" drive might break first before the item you're working on. You want a bunch of leverage for this job to break it loose, and to be able to crush the copper gasket.
