Take a good look at the caliper bolts... Chances are they will be a 3/8 hex( allen ) bolt... Somewhere along the line GM changed from a Torx T-55 to a 3/8'*... My 95 uses a 3/8'*... good luck

93 olds cutlass ciera * caliper star socket size
Just changed the brake pads on my 1993 oldmobile Cutlass Ciera * 3.3L and after all the forums I read dealing with 92 to 95 all said it was a t60 star socket, my 93 infact was a t50 star socket not a t60 or hex but a t50. I hope this helps
someone from avoid all the bs and guessing.
