What wrench do you need to remove brakes on a 1997 Buick LeSabre?

You'll likely need several wrenches to work on the brakes of a 1997 Buick LeSabre, not just one. The specific sizes will depend on the exact brake components, but you should have these on hand:

* Wrench for caliper bolts: This is usually a 13mm or 14mm wrench, possibly a combination wrench (open and box end) or socket. You might need a ratchet and extensions to reach them easily.

* Wrench for brake line fitting: This might be a 10mm or 11mm wrench, again, potentially a combination or socket wrench. Be careful not to overtighten as you could damage the brake line.

* Wrench for lug nuts: You'll need a wrench (socket is recommended) to remove the wheel to access the brakes. This is typically a 17mm or 19mm socket.

It's always best to consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 Buick LeSabre. The manual will give you precise sizes and torque specifications for all fasteners, ensuring you do the job safely and correctly. Trying to guess the right sizes can lead to stripped bolts or other damage.
