I moved away from my car and took much of my tools with me, so now I need to figure out what tools I will need to buy for a brake job (pads, rotors). I've got all I need to take off the wheels, but what else will I need for removing calipers? What size/shape are the bolts involved?

Thanks!

I am waiting for new longer Spiegler flex lines to be made so they will fit over studs that I will install in the uprights. I will do a DIY just as soon as they arrive. You will need a Torx T55 socket for the Caliper, 10mm socket for the brake line and an 11mm box end wrench to bleed the brakes. I think thats it. I have a brake pad spreader tool but you could use a C clamp.

These are pretty handy:

Thanks! What's the bolt holding that annoying bracket that holds the lines and wires? Is it just regular Philips or something more elaborate?

10mm bolt. Swap it with studs that tarett offers now and you won't be cursing yourself when you try to thread them back in.

10mm what shape? Also if you have a link to the Tarett product, I appreciate that.
