What sized sockets are needed to remove the Rotor?
To move the Piston over to get to the pads its 14mm(20ft lbs)? What MM to remove the Torque members to get the Caliper/Piston out of the way? What Torque setting should they be torqued back too?
Edit: Ok I got the torque Specs, Just need the sizes

So I need to use Brake Cleaner (right? ) and a wire brush to clean off the old grease from the back of the pads, Shims and apply new grease.
What type of grease is best for this application?
Pad< Shims < Shim Cover
"<" = Where to apply Grease , I have to apply a thin layer and give it some time to dry so that it does not get pushed out.
Also I should clean the hub(where the rotor sits on) and the inside of the Rotor right? Do I put any grease here?

For doing a brake fluid change with three people
Suck out old fluid and pour new fluid in- Have Person A watch fluid level
Get Person B and get them to hold the brake down.
Person C opens the bleeder bolt (10mm) with a plastic tube over it(anyone know what size? )
Then when no more fluid comes out, Tighten the bleeder then get Person B to pump the brakes while Person A makes sure fluid level stays good.
Then Start over again by loosening the bleeder.
Pump Pedal
Loosen Bleeder
Tighten Bleeder
Lift and start pumping.
Do this until clear fluid is coming out?
