Default Front brake removal - what size are the 2 main bolts (which hold the calipers in place)
Knew I should have got the bently CD (lol). I see from another set that entire system can be removed via 2 bolts (and of course the brake line)

Also what's the best way to remove, socket, torque (althoug not much room behind there for torque)

TIA

Crank em as Tight as hand tight will allow...

Default Hmmm (more)
On the "to be put back on" ones it would seem the entire caliper assembly has been removed from the car by 2 large bolts (looks like 18mm) as 19mm is a little too big

Default OK...that being the case be sure to use Red locktite when attaching the caliper brackets...
Would hate to hear any horror stories....

I thought it was a 16mm wrench that fit.
