I think it ought to be pretty straight forward to replace my front discs. Is there anything I need to be aware of (special sockets, tools required). Is there a service manual page I can "acquire". What are the torque settings for caliper bracket bolts.
Any help/tips greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Al

You will need a double hex (12 point) 21mm socket to undo the carrier bracket bolts, and a decent breaker bar
Also the torx screw is a T50
Other than that its pretty straight forward

I did mine about a fortnight back - they're easy to do but the caliper bracket bolts are tight. (The 21mm double hex jobs.)
If I remember correctly they're about 270Nm torque - as Disco_Mikey said, you'll need a decent breaker bar and a good torque wrench. I see no ships........
