• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My wrench list - what do I need for front brake & wheel removal?

Getting ready to roadtrip my 2016 RT...
For necessary wrenches to solve tire and wheel problems on the road, I am looking at:

2x 12mm for E brake cable release;
16mm for rear brake caliper work;
31mm for rear axle removal;
############

What do I need to pack for front brake and wheel removal?

Also planning on all the allens and star tips.

Thanks for sharing your experience - Mike
 
I would carry enough to do wheel removal for punctures. I’d check on brakes etc before leaving and just carry the things required to get the rear wheel out or the front wheels off.

After that, an adjustable wrench and a screw driver with cross head bits for the battery, Torx bits and a panel plastic retainer removal tool for some panels. A roll of duct tape.

Most other stuff I’d think of as extra weight and buy what I might need at an automotive parts store.

The other thing I carry is a battery powered tire inflator for adjusting tire pressures, perhaps a quart of oil and a small funnel.

The most important thing I carry is a AAA card with the highest level of membership.
 
Front luggage nuts, 19mm long reach socket. Check before you use, I had to grind down socket diameter on end to get it not to touch rim. Didn't hinder me I'm a machinist. I guess it was a heavy duty thicker socket.
Shouldn't need to take front or rear brakes off. Check pad thickness before you go
