I am just wondering what tools i need to do this job. So far I have read i need to remove (2) 10 mm bolts from the caliper to remove it from the actual rotor. What kind of bolt are on the rotor that have to be removed? I have bought the motive brake bleeder already and am awaiting the arrival of it. I figure while i am doing new rotors and pads that i would do the painting of the calipers. Does anyone suggest a brake fluid to use since the car is only used for street use. Also if someone has pictures of where to put the jack stands under the porsche since i would like to do all the rotors/pads at once instead of 1 at a time it will take forever then. One more thing to add do you think that i could use a ratchet set to remove all the bolts will if have enough leverage .
