What tools do I need to strip my front brakes?
Hi sorry this should be in the Tech forum but I need a quick answer. I'm just about to strip my brakes down due to a constant squeal when they get warm. What tools do I need to take the callipers of? I want to know before I take the wheels of and find I don’t have the correct tools.
Has anyone else had this problem, do they just need a clean up or do you think one of the pistons is corroded and sticking.
Thanks
Jer

brakes off
17mm spanner for caliper , pair of pliers for pins , 14mm spanner for flexy pipe , 11mm for bleed nipple and a good vice if your taking the caliper apart..oh and a pair of vice grips for the flexy to stop fluid from running out...
