Little Bolt Holes in your rotors...
 
Well, I know that there has been a lot of discussion on bolt size, thread depth, etc... So here is the answer.

The bolt that you remove to rotate the caliper up to gain acces to your pads just so happens to fit PERFECTLY as I discovered today while installing my ART Rotors. Since some can tend to be very tight, I would suggest ordering some extras so that you dont strip the ones that hold your caliper down...

Hope this helps, it certainly helped me!!

The bolts that hold on the radiator clamps will work as well. Best to match them up with higher grade (harder metal) bolts at your local hardware store. The radiator clamp bolts tend to strip a bit whilst cranking the rotors off. But it will work.

Cleaning the rust off the hub with some fine emery paper helps too.

Like I just posted in the other brakes thread, blow torches and thermal expansion work great together to get the rims off your car. Just heat the center a bit and they slip off like a glove.

8mm x 1.25 pitch and whatever length is what you want. I thought that was covered earlier. :) This size covers almost all foreign cars that have the same threaded holes.

yeah, thread pitch this, 8mm that, I named an actual bolt that fits it...
