OEM Brembo - What wrench size for the big screws?
Silly question, but before I start buying a set of big wrenches..
Does anybody know what size are the screws that mount the Brembo caliper to the front knuckle?
It’s more than 21mm. Looks like 23mm.

i am 99% sure it is 23 mm. the service manual of course doesn't say what size it is, but does say to torque it to 113-114 ft-lbs. getting all that torque into that cramped location can be tough sometimes.
i have the correct socket set aside in my "track toolbox", so i can check in a couple of hours when i get home.

Buy them all and return the next day the ones you don't need?
