Anyone know what size the key is that fits the part that hold the pads in place. I know the main one that holds the caliper onto the hub are 8mm.

Don't know which ones you're talking about. Once you have the calliper off the upright, the pads drop out.

Cheers. I need to seperate the caliper to clean up. Or I was considering the upgrade from TVR Car Parts. They look pretty good value.
