You can use ring spanners as well dude.

From memory the bolt size was 12mm or 13mm.

I realise that bro, my point was that you could only use rings on my previous car due to clearance.

Brakes arrived today so tomorrow night is go time!

Just make sure everything is tight and no left over parts.

Few years ago I my brakes failed (partially) on my 626 and let me tell you it aint fun.

The ABS sensor ring fall off the CV joint and it made the computer think the wheel is stopped thus activating ABS.

I almost ran over some of my sisters friends as I couldn't stop when turning in to a drive way. At least it thought them not to trust a moving car. lol

Havent been on here for a few days but got the jobs done on Saturday.

For those who were wondering the following is required:

15mm socket and 100mm extension / Ring spanner

Hammer to remove discs

Piston compression tool (or g clamp)

Zip ties or similar to hang the caliper while youre removing the disc

Hope this helps someone

Did you end up replacing your brake fluid too???

Looking at changing mine in the next few weeks and with all my cars I have NEVER done the brake fluid.

Maybe I should with this one???
