Late models use an E20 external torx socket(hard to find prepare ahead, Toolparadise.com has a set) to remove the caliper bracket to remove the rotor and you will also need a metric set of allen keys for the rotor holding screw. Take a digital picture of the anti rattle spring on the outside of the caliper and make sure you install it just like it was or you will have problems. You will be able to see what kind of bolts the caliper brackets have to turn you wheels extreme and look behind the caliper. Use locktite blue on these bolts when you reinstall them. Also watch your brake fluid level when pushing the piston back into the caliper, not to overflow the res. I just did this job last weekend on my 2003 9-5.
