I have a mate coming tomorrow to assist (well do actually) the rear disc and pads on my 06 speedy.

Whilst he will probably be bring tools, to be on the safe side I am checking my own.

Have got the half inch torque wrench, have the correct socket for caliper removal and have the bits for wheel removal.

Don't really have the correct size 'allen' type head to remove the disc from the wheel.

If anyone could advise the size I will get it today - hopefully with adapters to put on half inch torque wrench.

Anyone know?

All the best

Have on hand the following
6mm allen for the torque wrench
propane torch
hammer type impact screw driver with an adapter for the above
242 type locktite
wire brush to clean the screws



Heat the heads of the screws only need to go to about 400 F(just to hot to touch on the back side of the disk and boss on the hub. Loosen with the impact driver and turn out with the 6mm allen key while still warm. wire brush to remove the factory thread locker. Then allow to cool, doing this will allow you to re-use the factory fasteners! They cost $6.00 usd here. re-assemble using clean screws and 242 locktite work fast to get torqued before the locktite starts to cure! Check torque but it should be about 22-24nm.
To convert Nm to Ftlb multiply by.7376

Now have nice sintered pads and nice new disc.

The old pads were down to the metal - after 10,000 km (The guy before me must never have used the front brake!0.

Hopefully will not have to touch them for another 25k!
