Hey guys,
I'm doing my brakes and when replacing my rear calipers I was told there are two sizes- in regards to the mounting bolts. Either 10mm or 11mm holes. How do I figure that out without taking them off?
I have a 1997 Volvo GLE.
Any help would be apprecaited!!!
Thanks

 

Yes they do for a 97 850... 10mm and 11mm

I would pull a wheel and a bolt and measure the bolt to be sure... it should only take 3 min to figure it out...

If you dont have a caliper to measure..

10mm is a Little over 3/8 Inch... or 0.39370 Inches
11mm is 7/16 Inch... or 0.43307 Inches

 

either measure the bolts or take the wheel off and attempt to put a 10 mm wrench on the bolt and see if it fits. if it does, its a 10 mm, if it doesnt, its an 11 mm.

 

thats slick.... I never would have had the common sense to think of that..
See you DO learn something new everyday...

 

This would be one of those things you never admit.

 

thats kinda what I was thinking. I was like "am i missing something here?"

 

LMAO..I could admit when I had a brain-fart.. but I would have used a digital caliper to measure and not even thought of the wrenches... WOW, im gunna shut up now
