I'm getting ready to do a front brake job(pads and rotars. I'll decide on the calipers once their off and I can inspect the boots) on my 98 Astro. Can anyone tell me what size the torque bit is required for the front calipers? I know its smaller than the T55 my Monte Carlo used.
Did you test fit the T55 to make sure ?
others here have said that what they used , it been over a year since I did mine , so I don't recall off hand what it was , if it comes to it you can go into a parts store , get a new bolt in hand and go to the tool aisle and test fit to find out which bit will fit

I'se had lots of different year vans, but they all had 3/8 Allen head bolts. Look again. I would bet if they aren't allen, they aren't factory, or possibly there was a fastener change for Gen 2.
Maybe the torx bolts were used on the last few years of the Astro? Both my vans and the 94 S10 I used to have had allen head bolts. GM put them on a lot of vehicles. Bought an allen head socket set because of an 01 Chevy Cavalier we used to have. It was the first GM we had and when I went to replace the brake pads, I couldn't because I thought they would be normal bolts.
