Definetly do not bother with the t40 locking pins. I bent 2 t40 sockets messing with them and one of the bolts is now stripped and siezed. I was trying to remove it and the teeth of the bolt head shattered. Little fragments litterally broke off around my t40 socket and went flying.
I see no reason not to used the 10mm Allen bolts to disconnect the caliper. A breaker bar make quick work of them. However, these bolts are definetly supposed to be 1 time use. Forget about locktite and everything mentioned... the reason they should be replaced is because they are aluminum and they also make use of a crush washer...
I'll disconnect the front calipers at the hub next time.
