I don't know, that's why I have pictures.
I just followed this link http://www.discovery2.co.uk/brakes.html
Though, everyone keep saying the 12-point bolt is 19mm, where mine was 13mm. Any explanation?

Where in the world did you guys get that I have a leak? I think there was a misconception on Disco Mike's part. I did not mention anything about leaks. This was a brake thread.
There are NO leaks. No brake fluid leaks or hub failure. Nothing!!!
If you thought I had leaks because of the pictures, it was just brake cleaner that hasn't dry yet.

It looks wet, that's all.

I switched to EBC pads and rotors a couple of thousand miles ago and they haven't made a sound, even when they were bedding in. I've heard of premature warping but it was only from one guy. So far no brake dust either.

The bolts are threadlocked, so they are tight to remove.
I would remove, / undo them as far as you already did, then spray some penetrating oil / dis assembly fluid like Plus gas and let them soak for a bit.
Try to get some down the gap between the face of the hub and the caliper as well..
As far as your bolts being 13mm, well I cannot be 100% mine were 19mm, I may have made an error when writing the page, but will check it out and correct it if need be.
