Changing front & rear discs - socket sizes?

[Chris1.4RT]

Had a scan about on here and a little bit confused as to socket sizes.

I'm going to buy some new ones as mine are a bit mashed.

I think I need for the front:

13mm socket, 17mm spanner for the caliper piston part. Can someone confirm?

What about the size of the socket for removal of the caliper rail thing?

For the rear:

Not sure what I need. I think it's 18mm socket for the caliper. 30mm or is it 32 for the hub? Anything else?

Thanks very much.

IMO get a new socket set not just the ones you need.

30mm for the center nuts make sure you've a good socket set to get them off as there often a bit tight plus use a breakers bar also remmber some lock tight etc to ensure that if your going to reuse it (against recomendations) that it doens't come off.
