I'd pony up the $60 for the service maual. It has all the info and more than you'll ever need. Plus it will warn you of things to be watchful for so you don't screw it up!!

Best money I ever spent for my bike was the 63 dollars for the Service Manual. Less than an hour's labor charge, and has saved me a ton of money.....and a lot of time hoping someone would take the time to try to explain a process on one of these forums.

You'll be surprised at the manual........excellent information, and yes, even pictures.

1/4 12 pt and the other one you will need for the front is a 10mm 12pt

The easiest way is just pull the pin and then carefully wiggle twist a flattip screwdriver to loosen the pads off what you are in fact doing id pushing the pucks back in, (I'm gonna get flamed for telling you this method you know) then eventually they will just fall right out put the new ones in and replace the pins. Dont forget to use a slight bit os anti-sneeze
