I am about to do a brake fluid flush and want to flush the clutch as well.
I have had the car over a year now and don't know the condition of the fluid.
What size "Short stubby" wrench is needed?
Thanks!

Rob, I believe that you will require a 11 mm wrench.

Great.
Thank you Gilles.
I am looking forward to this project - new rotors, pads, hardware, screws, bolts, fluid, the works!
I just rolled over 160k and still going strong.

Ok Gang, one more question before I do my first brake job on my 02 Base.
I have bought everything under the sun except some type of anti-squeal product.
Since I bought new dampers for the pistons, do I need to use some type of anti-squeal product on the back of the brake pads like I used to on The American Cars that I have owned?
I'm used to coating the back of the brake pads with that orange goop and I am wondering if I need something similar for this job.
As always, thanks!

I had a sequel that I could not get rid of and with only 7 K miles on the pads. I purchased new pads and shims (buffers) for all 4 wheels, I found that the screws in the shims were loose and causing the squeal...the new shims screws were also not tight at all. I used locktite on the screws in the new shims and did the complete brake job....quiet as a church mouse after a year
