Got the new Rotors and Brakes to install, WOO HOO





and although I've already done it a couple of times on my L I dont remember what size Allan Socket I need.

ANYONE ???

I bought it and have it SOMEWHERE ??? but since I'll have to go borrow a driveway to do it and wont be home near my own tools I need to know the size and go pick up another one
THANKS

AND
just in case I can find the time while it's apart (doubt it but maybe)
Anyone using anything special to paint the Calipers ???
I would imagine Red is the choice of colors, opinions ???

 

I think its 8mm but don't quote me on it.

 

Thanks Bro, I hope to do them tommorrow....

 

It's a TORX, rob ...

 

Rob, what rotors are those?

 

He drilled extra holes in his rims.

 

t-55

WOW good thing I asked here I was ready to pick up a set of allan sockets
Thanks Spanky,
I'm leaving in a few to go use my P+M's driveway and do it this morning
and I do believe I have a T-55. YEP here it is right in me tool box
I knew I bought the socket I needed the last time I did them.

They're
ROTORPROS DIMPLED / SLOTTED
ROTORS FRONT AND REAR ( SET of 4 )
$ 270.00

Mine DONT look as Blingy as the picture, those must have been polished.
Mine are more a Galvanized color and they're NOT suppose to turn to rust every day with the morning due. Going with the Ferro Carbon Hawk Pads,
and all I can say is everyone warned me and I didnt listen and had to find out the hard way that the Ceramic Brakes DO SUCK, and they DO DESTROY your Rotors. That is what I currently run, that is why I had to buy new Rotors.

 

FOR THE RECORD, it's a T45 needed for the Front's

Just finished the Install and the Beast is stopping better THAN IT EVER DID

 

On my 2000 MY bolts are standard bolts. No Torx or Allens. Pe rhaps they changed them.

 

I knew I wasn't crazy...mines a '00 also....straight 8mm no torx.

 

And why they made the front and back differant is truly beyond me
(my back takes a reg mm socket, the front a T-45) weird chit I tell you
I found a T45 in Pops garage so it was no biggy, I guess the T-55 I bought was to take my seat out

Another little factoid in the diff years I guess, but I DO THANK YOU Dale, Spanky, Cliff

 

Mine is an 01 and my calipers also dont use torx front or back.

 

Hey ROB,

Do you know if you can get those rotors polished like they have in the pic.???

 

Not sure but I got to guess something on this list is the polished ones ???
