2007 STR Front Brake Pad Removal and Replacement
Anyone had experience replacing front brake pads on a 2007 STR? What is the size hex needed for removing the caliper bolts? Are they like the rear ones that are accessed by removing the plastic plug? I relaced the rear ones today with advice obtained from this forum. Thanks!!!

You need a 9mm hex head. Yes, just pull off the plastic caps for access.
You need to remove the spring clip in the front first.
I have been using Jaguar pads for replacements even though they are hard on the rotors. This time I used CENTRIC pads from RockAuto. I'm not too happy with the pedal feel so I will probably go back to Jaguar on the next replacement.
It's not a bad job. Good luck.

There are black plastic. Caps behind the caliper, you are I suggest looking at the bolts that hold the calipers together.
The R symbol is the spring clip
I use EBC red stuff pads far better pads and far less dust.
