front brake caliper bolts
« on: June 01, 2007, 20:49:49 »
Does anyone know what size the bolts are that hold on the front brake calipers on ?? its an L reg 300tdi 90 if it makes any difference. Having to replace the front disks after a wheel fell off and one of them got damaged  :(
 I dont have whatever size socket I need to get the caliper off so need to go buy one

Probably 13mm 12 point socket needed cos of the funny shape and some threadlock when putting them back on.

1/2" 12 point  :wink:
Did everyone see that?  Because I will NOT be doing it again!

You may need a 1/2" 12 point ring spanner if you are taking the rear calipers of too.
