Pay Close Attention To how The Pads Came Out, They Do Not Have The Same Orientation.

10mm 12-point I believe. You can theoretically change the pads without pulling the calipers, but you really should clean them the way that the Lyndall site suggests. Use Lyndall Z+ pads and you won't be sorry.

Get 1/4 inch 12 pt socket for the bolts. Nothing else works, trust me.
If you don't have the little tool to push the piston back in you'll probably have to use a small prybar to get it to move in enough to get the caliper off and then back on again.

1/4" 12 point socket, Not an "E" socket, for the pad retaining pins, putty knife(s) to slip between the pad(s) and rotor to retract the pistons, remember to take out brake fluid in the master cylinder to allow the fluid at the pistons to have some place to go. PUT! THE TOP BACK ON!!! before pushing the pistons in. Or fluid will get on your paint, chrome and other stuff.

I would use the EBC HH sintered pads, they stop a hell of a lot better than the Lyndall kevlar. The kevlar fade under extreme use like mountains or heavy bikes and kind of suck in the rain. The EBC are awesome no matter what you throw at them, they stop my bagger on a dime, only issue is if you got fancy chrome rotors thay will make them un chrome, they are tough on rotors but who cares, both brakes and rotors are sacraficial and designed to stop you and not look good, so, if ya want to stop... EBC HH Sintered on front and rear. Your eyes will pop out the first time you nail them.
