Hey Guys! I’m going to be helping a friend replace his brakes on his 04 honda pilot (front brakes only{ pads and rotors}) and I was just wanting to make sure that I’m not going to need any specialty tools to do this. I’m looked up some info but nothing specifies fastener type (aka torx, e-torx, allen etc).
Thanks for the info guys!

Honda, thankfully, still doesn’t use funky fasteners in many places. So no fancy sockets needed to do the brakes. If you don’t have an impact driver to remove the rotor screws, it would be a good idea to take a hammer and chisel, in case you have to chisel them out.

are they a standard phillips screw?
The rotor screws have a Phillips head. I did not have any success with an impact driver and had to resort to a screw extractor. It might be worth having on hand, just in case.
The rotors should have two threaded holes to aid removal of a stuck rotor, where two bolts (M8, 1.25-mm pitch, 25-mm or longer length) can separate the rotor from the hub. Turn each bolt a half-turn at a time to keep the rotor straight relative to the studs. Again, it’s worth having on hand.
