If you do not remove the brake rotor, you will not be able to verify a good seat of the new studs. Plus you may damage the rotor while tightening individual studs in... Therefore, removing the caliper is necessary in order to remove the rotor too.

^^ wat he said.

even if you use the V2 type with built-in studs dont use excess amounts of loctite blue cause you may have problems removing it down the road. just a small dab on the factory stud and letting it cure over night is all that's needed.

OK, I'm confused LOL

He said no loctite....

You say... use a small dab, and let cure overnight..??

V1 stud replacement - no loctite.

V2 bolt on style - small dab is okay.
