Tool for removing brake rotor?
Is there a recommended tool for removing the large Torx screw that holds the brake rotors in place? Is a regular Torx bit good enough, or is something special required?
My 951 has a Philips head screw, and I have to use an impact wrench to break it loose. I've done rotors on the 951 many times, but this will be the first time on the C-S.
"Search" has found lots of info on brake pad DIY, but I haven't been able to find much at all on DIY rotor replacement.

Front rotor requires NO special tools... REAR rotor requires special double triangle head socket. (12 pt torx)
And BIG torque wrench to tighten caliper brackets @ 200 lb/ft

I'm going with OEM. Maybe I was just lucky, but I got over 50K miles out of them, I don't have squealing problems, and I haven't found them to put out excessive dust. And I tow the track car frequently as well, so I have no complaints about the OEM pads that came on the Cayenne.
I'm hoping the replacement OEM pads are the same material composition.

I am about to go to the dustless ones from www.zeckhausen.com they sound good and a number of guys on other boards have used them on the sport cars.
