I've viewed your video on-line. I am supposed to use an Allen wrench to remove the pads.

What size?

Front brake slid pins will be either 6 or 8 mm rear brakes need a special tool to wing back the piston.

I had already tried 6mm, as it was the largest in my set. Bought the 8mm (wrong). It was 7mm (extra trip).

6mm and 8mm are very common sizes, they will not go to waste.
