13mm done it.Top bolts:easy with rachet wrench and pb blaster.Bottom bolts; difficult cos spring et al in the way.Had to use ordinary 13mm monkey wrench and brute force.One disc has to be hammered out.

Still breaking in new brake discs and pads.I installed the new teflon coated shims only instead of the old teflon +stainless steel shims combo.Squeaks more than old ones at first.Now slightly better.May have to install back the stainless shims if squeaking does not subsides.

Overall not bad for 1st rotor change in 11 yrs.

Tom
