I am changing my front brake pads on my TT and it looks like I need some sort of hex tool to loosten the caliper guide bolts. Does anyone know what size hex tool this is? Thanks!

 

Believe its 8mm but dont hold me to that. Was about a year since i did mine and i dont have stocks anymore

 

I found it...it's a 7MM Hex.

 

I changed my brake pads..the drivers side took me about an hour because it was the first time I had done it on this car, and it took me a while to get the pad sensor unhooked, as it was very stubborn. I also took off the entire caliper support, which I did not need to do.

But Damn! I did the passenger side next, I only took off the caliper (left the support) and it only took me about 10 minutes for the entire job. Talk about easy!

 

did you get new rotors or atleast resurface the old ones?

 

No I did nothing with the rotors. The only reason I put these new brake pads on was because I was sick of the dust of the OEM pads. I would clean my wheels and they would be dirty again the next day it was bad. The OEM padswere only about 1/2 used.These new padsare just temporary until I upgrade to a big brake kit in a couple months. I did inspect my rotors and they had no grooves, etc and were in excellent condition.

 

Ok, good to hear.

 

Did you do the rears as well? I know what you mean about the dust. It was the primary reason I switched to ceramics.
