General Replacing The Front Disks & Pads

[umberto]

I do remember someone on a previous post telling me that it was pretty straight forward however, i have this thing in the back of my mind about a 7mm Alan Key..
Is that correct? or am i thinking of another job that requires that special key..

Hi Umberto.
I am just doing this now, well not right now as i am having a break.

Yes 7mm allen key or one of those with a socket on the end is best.
12mm deep socket or ring spanner for the disc retaining studs, and a 19mm socket for the caliper bracket or carrier.

Brilliant stuff, where did you get your parts from?

And what are the torques for refitting ?

Parts were sourced from my local motor factors. These days you just give them your reg number, so no part numbers involved.

As for torque settings, i couldn't tell you. I just know how tight things need to be from years of tinkering.
Will details be on eper?
