Hi djdutchmaster, You can use a 7mm alen wrench or T-45 torx bit to remove your calipers. Good luck!

2005 Ford Focus - When I start my car it makes a loud vibrating noise, when I put it in reverse it seems to quiet down some. When I press the gas pedal it vibrates the car and is very loud.

I took it to a couple different places and I keep getting different things so I am not sure what is right. 8 Answers
