I never considered that. I ordered new rotors, but I failed at replacing the brakes on the wife's car. The bolts holding the caliper bracket to the hub are 21mm. The only 21mm tool I own is a lug socket, and it is too long to get in there.
I though I was done buying tools. I guess not. Most of my other metric sockets are Craftsman, so I drove to the Ace Hardware to pick one up. Nope, they have some Craftsman tools, but it looks like they are slowly replacing them with Crescent. I drove to the other Ace, they had a Craftsman 21mm socket, but it's made in Taiwan, not the US. The thing is, the sockets on their website say "Made in USA". I wonder if I ordered one to the first store if a US socket would show up.
