I want to change my front brake pads on a 2000 chevy malibu.
I don't know what size allen wrench I need.

most cars use 7mm, this is not a standard size but is available from most good car spares shops i use a socket key as it is easier, this is a socket with a fixed piece of allen key in the end
then you get good leverage from your socket wrench
