20mm, eh?

It so happens that I have a 1993 Chev Suburban (4x4) with ABS.  Never had a problem stopping it on dry pavement or slippery.  What's the problem?

Never had the reason to remove the bumpers on this one.  My previous 1986 Suburban had some wiring issues that required me to remove the rear bumper.  Because of the trailer hitch, I needed to remove the license plate and cut out a section behind it to reach everything.  I don't recall having any trouble finding a socket in my tool box, but I don't recall what size I needed.  I do recall that running an impact wrench caused me to be covered by a rainfall of The Oxides Formerly Known As Chevrolet.  Safety glasses are a must.
