    19 to get the wheels off, and probably a 14 to take the caliper off.

    Get a metric set that has the following sizes:

    8, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 19. About 99% of the normal bolts on a Subaru are this size. The caliper bolts on mine are 12mm. The bracket bolts (sometimes you need to loosen them up to get the rotor off) are either 14 or 17mm. The bleeder valve is an 8mm.

    I was going to post something about double checking your ebrake but... you figured it out.

    Have fun.

    I was wondering why you would take the big nut off when it has nothing to do with the rotor staying on?!?!?!?

    1-1/4" works pretty well, 3/4" not so much, unless you are talking about 3/4" drive, which works great. :)
