1. 1.25" 2. Take old one off. Put new one on. Keep it lubed. 3. It's in the manual, but the spindle nut is 165 ft-lb (alias "tighter than you can get it with an open end wrench". Since you can't get a torque wrench on the nut, you just go as tight as you can. Then hit it again. Locktite is a good idea. Caliper torques are lower (55F/40r), use loctite there too. 4. Any of the DMC places. OEM pads are "dirty" but work best, aftermarket pads are cleaner - there are alternatives. In normal driving you won't notice the difference (unless you drive like VideoBob!).
