★ Top Answer
The main bolt for connecting the Toyota Corolla brake calipers to the mounting bracket on the suspension control arm is 9/16" hex in size. It's important to replace this bolt when removing the brake calipers, as they can stretch out over time. Typically, these bolts have thread locker applied, making them difficult to reuse. Be sure to torque the caliper bolts properly to prevent them from loosening and ensure they effectively stop the car.

It's actually not a 9/16 size because Toyota utilizes metric measurements. The correct size is 14mm, which is equivalent to 9/16 at 14.3mm.

Before you start working on your Toyota Corolla brakes, make sure to check the caliper bolt size to ensure you are using the correct tools. The recommended size is 79 pounds of force or 107 newton-meters.
