Afterthought - You'll be all the way down to the "Splash Shields," those little sheet metal pie plates that keep road slop away from the inboard rotor surface. I used a 3/8" wrench but they're likely a metric with 10mm head. Those little biters are machine screw thread but they're self-tapping. One of them holds the bracket for the ABS cable. I went to remove it and even with care, with heat, I broke it. No great loss, I was replacing that whole forging anyhow.
Unless your rig is pristine like-new (hear that, Ron.Dittmer?) I would NOT touch them. If you need to release the ABS line, pry the clip open and squeeze it back later with your new Channel Lock 420 Pliers. Since my replacement parts were new, I removed each of those little capscrews, cleaned screws and holes, and reassembled with NevrSeez.
