Re: Help replace brakes.

Mine took a 7mm allen wrench. Strangely enough, the last time I did the pads I also installed a new loaded caliper on each side, and the kit came with new studs... three of the new studs were 7mm and one was 6mm! (the threads were all the same though).

Just pry the piston back...loosen the cap on the brake reservoir and make sure the level is low enough so you don't overflow it...don't ever open a bleed screw unless absolutely necessary. If you do this right, you won't even have to bleed if all you're doing is replacing the pads.
