Thank you much

95% of the time, the 4mm hex slot is too small to overcome the corrosion from the M10x1 thread engagement. Use this thread to help be your guide:

We also sell a much deeper 5mm hex version of the 10x1 plug. I still like the hex cap vs. the hex head as they allow you to mount and dismount the caliper normally. I still advise anti-seize.

Do the PMB restored calipers come with the caps for the adjusters on both sides.

Caps... no adjusters. You need to take those out of your core calipers.

So they come with all 4 caps however, I need to remove the adjusters from old and reinstall in reconditioned calipers.
Any tricks too know about removing also does Anything need to be done to them before reinstalling.

They come with the inner adjuster caps, sorry. We do have some of the outer caps. They're used.

For the rears, using an 11mm flare wrench, remove the hardline at the control arm first, then remove the caliper, then use the flare wrench to remove it from the caliper.
