    Pretty sure:

    17mm socket
    13mm socket


    In case I'm forgetful, have 16-19mm and 10-15mm sockets handy :)

    Raise vehicle
    Remove wheel.





    Remove two 17mm* bolts that attach caliper to suspension upright. May have to unbolt brake line bracket to gain access to top bolt.

    With bolts removed, pull caliper off rotor, do not dangle caliper from brake line.

    With caliper out of the way, pull rotor off hub, may take a bit of tapping.

    Install is revarse of removal. Brake caliper to upright torque is some amazingly high value, wasn't sure they were going to come off.


    Feel free to post a better howto, let me know :)



    *may be wrong on socket size.
