Forgot what size, but a set of torx attachments for the bolts on the calipers. A rubber mallet might help, also a set of bungee cords to hang the calipers on the control arm or spring once you get em off

6mm hex socket for the rotor screw. Don't use an allen key.

Lube for the <cough> caliper pins.

Not recommended to use that hex bolt. Use the caliper bracket bolts behind the rotor.

Hmmm, mine came out ok.
The ones I couldn't get out at all were the four pad adjustment pins, mine are seized so when my pads need changing I'm not sure what I will do.
