Which caliper bolt is allen? The only things I can think of that have allen on the front are the wheel speed sensor and the rotor bolt. |

I could have sworn mine were Torx. The bolt that holds my rotor to the hub assembly is an allen. The caliper guide bolt is different than the rotor to hub assembly bolt. |

Hmm . . maybe they're Torx on some, but I doubt it. All the photos I've ever seen use Allens, like the one below. Can't speak for my E36 as I have yet to change the pads.
