Hi all,
MOT is coming up soon, so decided to investigate my squealing front brakes to make sure that there were no big issues.
One small problem found: brake pad retaining clip was loose enough for me to pull it off - easy to sort, no issues.
One big problem found: while taking the caliper off to sort the first problem, noticed that the brake disc seemed a bit loose. On closer inspection this is due to both the brake disc bolts having sheared off! Luckily one was still long enough to stop the disc from just spinning around freely.
Sooooo... Going to buy a dremel or bolt extraction kit tomorrow to see if I can get what's left of them out.
My question is, does anyone know the part number for new brake disc bolts, or know the size and thread pattern so I can buy something that will do the job?
