Rotors and brakes replacement
Hey guys sorry to ask a stupid question. I have a 2011 Premium Max. Can anyone please tell me the size sockets I may need to take off the caliper and caliper bracket to replace rotors and brakes? I searched all over and couldn't find it in the forum. Thanks to all that respond

The caliper bolts are either 12mm or 14mm. The bracket bolts are 17mm or 19mm (there's an odd chance that they are 18mm). I have a set of long box wrenches that make the job easier and you may need a breaker bar for the bracket bolts.

I got these box wrenches for like $77 (in 2012). They are great and I enjoy using them.

I just changed my front pads and rotors today. You need a 14mm for the calipers and a 22mm for the bracket. My bracket bolts were really REALLY stubborn and I broke a breaker bar and a socket wrench trying to free them. I went out and got a bigger, better breaker bar and it was easy after that.
I haven't touched the rear yet.
My calipers have a LOT of corrosion on them and rust. I cleaned them up as best as I could and painted them black. When I replace the brake lines I will really clean them up and repaint.
Good luck.
