what torx needed for front brakes 2008?

Hello. I have a 2008 honda fit and I want to replace the front brake pads and rotors. I have never changed out a honda fit before. What special bits do I need to change them?

thanks
Jason

No Torx bolts used, just good ol' hex nuts on the calipers and slider pins.

The rotors are fitted with JIS "Philips" screws that often stick due to corrosion. An impact driver aids in removal. If all else fails, just drill the heads off them...you don't need to replace them.

Don't forget to flush the brake fluid...should be replaced every three years regardless of mileage, per Honda.
