I haven't done any work in that area for probably 10 years, so I may forget
some things, but as you will be removing the calipers, you may want to buy
new fasteners. If I recall, the TR6 caliper nuts are locked by a bendable
tab, which gets pretty fatigued after years of prying down and bending up
when pulling the calipers. As long as you are at it, now might be as good a
time as any to repack the front bearings, or, possibly replace them.
Likewise, you may want to reseal the calipers while they are accessible.
Check to see if you are missing either of both dust caps, too.
