For 2004 9-5 Aero front rotor and brakes replacement required - 1/2" Torx E20 socket (female version of a torx) was critical tool, coupled with a 1/2" breaker bar and a 2' pipe (for an extension) to remove the Caliper retainer assembly. Car Quest sells a S&K Tools 13 piece torx socket set for $85. Same set can be had in Sears for $120. 7mm allen head (3/8 ") to remove the caliper slide pins. 5mm allen head (3/8") to remove screw holding rotor. 3 can of brake cleaner. Wire brush to clean black brake dust buildup off retainer assembly and caliper. Large C-Clamp to push caliper piston back. Antiseize and perhaps Loctite (blue color).
