Break pads and disc replacement
Hello all,
As per the subject, I am going to replace the disc and pads on Friday. Do you know what size of alan key I need to unscrew 2 bolts that hold the calliper to the hub arm? Those bolts under a plastic cover I am asking as I would like to buy it if I don't have already this prior I start work. If I miss any tool/key I have all the shops far away from me and without a car I will have a problem. Thanks in advance

The front hex key is at least 10mm, possibly even bigger, my guess is 11mm as my 10 was just a bit too loose inside it The rears are smaller hex key, around 8mm |

Just watch if you’re doing the discs too. The caliper bolts are bastard tight and loctite too. I needed a spanner on a spanner to break them free as I didn’t have the right socket for those either (can’t remember what size, but I did a thread on replacing all discs and pads a couple of months ago and it will be in there).
