I am going to replace my rotors and pads. Do I Need extra tool to unscrew any screws I mean the tip has any unusual schape that you can not find in ordinary tool set. What tip the screw has? star, Phillips etc.

if it is the front pads & rotors u will need #s 7 & 5 hex type socket or key ,plus a E20 socket to remove caliper bracket ,& if it is the rear pads & rotors u r doing u will need the same #7 hex socket or key ,plus T30 socket to remove rotors & E18 socket to remove caliper bracket ,note u will need a special tool to turn caliper pistons in ,u can use a needle nose plyers if u r strong enough to turn in piston ,good luck. note caliper bracket bolts will be very tight to pull u may need a long handle to do the job,some time not even airgun strong enough to pull bolts .
