Good tutorial, but to the time indicated, you have to add the time to take out and put away the tools

Hello, thanks for this tutorial, For my part it is not a torx key E16. but E18 (moreover in my set of torx keys, no 16),

Thanks to this tutorial I was able to perform the operation. Thanks to the contributors!

I would add to be careful when inserting the piston, to press firmly on it and not in the center because there is a thin metal plate.

I put thread lock on the famous Torx screws which can be removed using the E16 socket.

Use a wire brush to push the socket in.
