Re: Help with Hilux 2400d front brakes
No idea probably a 8 or 10 mm. More likely an 8. If you are going to buy new keys I would consider getting the "socket" type keys that fit onto a ratchet. That is to say that you actually have a socket wrench set. They are much easier to use than trying to lever the allen key with a ring s...

Re: Help with Hilux 2400d front brakes
Those silver bolts visible at the top and bottom should take an Allen key. Just make sure that it is a good tight fit and that there is no rubbish inside the hole preventing the Allen key from engaging all the way. The process is that you compress the piston first and then undo those two Allen bolts...

No it won't move if the brakes are binding and it means the brakes are tight even when the handbrake is released. This could be due to sticky/rusted handbrake cables or handbrake linkages inside at the brake shoe assembly.
