BoostM3,

Great to see you got the job done. Yes the 10mm allen bolts on the sides top/bottom are the correct ones to remove the caliper. They were the same size bolts that were on my Porsche Brembo calipers. Per my previous post the torque specs are 85 n-m or 63 ft-lb. Also, don't use a rachet for this job. I used a 1/2" breaker bar and it was not that hard of a job to break the bolts. More length (leverage) and no mechanical rachet to fail. Once you break the bolt you can use the ratchet. Tighten with a ratchet then use the torque wrench. I did not use any locktite. I have never used locktite on any caliper bolts of any of my cars. I also have tracked many cars and never any issues.
