Oh, and be sure to clean ALL the gunk out of the CV bolt heads before 
you go cranking on the drivers.

A few extensions and a small-ish breaker bar and a dedicated 1/2" deep 
socket and some duct tape goes along way with the 12 point driver.

8 mm twelve point driver.
3/8" drive breaker bar.
3/8" drive 1/2" deep socket.
3/8" drive extensions to equal about 2 to 3" of length.
tape to keep 12 point from falling out of 1/2" socket.

It'll help to stick a screwdriver in the vented slots IF you have vented 
brakes, otherwise you might clamp them with some vice grips if solid.

Getting the PP bolts out and in can be a drag because the crank rotates. 
A coat hanger through the empty bolt hole in back of the block makes for 
a good place to secure the pressure plate.
