   What tool do you use to remove the slide pins on the VTR front calipers? Ive tried allen keys but cant seem to get the right size its either too big or too small?

   Imperial and Metric sizes are different mate. Not just the sizes converted. Never done the breaks on a VTR. I know they're a 7mm on some cars. right pain in the arse. but if 6mm iss too big I'm gonna assume it'll be a metric size fella.
