Title: Discovery rear caliper bolt size????
Post by: xmob on April 12, 2005, 22:41:10

UNF, UNC, Metric, Metric fine, BA, BSF....

Wouldn't life be much easier if there was ONE standard for bolts and threads.

Anyway.  H reg Discovery 200tdi.  Rear caliper bolts, the ones that bolt the caliper to the axle case.  What thread?  I reckon either 7/16" UNF or 10*1.25 mm.  What length?

I've already got one snapped bolt and the others are a little too tight for comfort so they need replacing soon as.  Trouble is, I need to know what bolts to buy and what size tap to clean the threads.

That's the trouble, my local Stealer isn't local, and I can't ever get there when they're open.  I can't find the bolts on any of the online suppliers.

Not much help but something like M10x1.25 pitch and about 40mm long from what I remember - I'd imagine they're high tensile bolts too if you're going to try and get them from a fixings supplier.

I had one of my rear calipers changed for the MOT, the mechanic also mentioned that he had problems with the bolts, they had seized up and were a right pig to remove.

I'll give him a call tomorrow and see if I can find out  :wink:
