Default Quick question: Removing caliper

What size open wrench do I need to hold one side of the bolt that holds the caliper on ?

The s2000 caliper bolts need to be held one side, while loosening the other side, and I have not been able to find the size of the nut through google or the service manual


Thanks a lot!

Wow thats kinda weird, I could have sworn those were much bigger than 17, because I have up to 16mm open wrench, and it seemed MUCH bigger than it.



Just to confirm, part A is 17mm?

I always just used an adjustable wrench to hold the pin.
