Just did mine. Backs were very easy. Allen key fit perfect. (Front and back)

Big bolts on the fronts were tough, but they came off. Needed just short of tool breaking strength to get them off. (Watch your fenders.....and make sure you have a really good socket.....not the time to be slipping off.

Watch when you finally get everything loose while doing the fronts. Very easy to nick or cut the brake lines. I nicked the smaller of the two lines, (anti-lock wires??) but I don't think it went all the way through to the inside. I'll put some really good tape on it for now and keep an eye on things.

Total time was about 5 hours sans lunch. Back still looks a bit high, but then it hasn't settled yet either. Going for a ride tonight....if anything is a miss....I'll report back here tonight.
