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).

Assuming you've got alloy wheels, on final reassembly put a smear of copper grease between the contact points of the wheel the disc and the hub collar to prevent future corrosion between the steel and alloy. This will make the wheels much easier to remove in the future.
