blackcat 0 Posted May 2, 2005 I am currently in the middle of changing the front discs and pads. Does anyone know what the correct torque is for the 3 bolts that you have to undo/do up?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 2, 2005 Which 3 bolts??? The caliper to carrier bolts (2 piece calipers) need to be about 35Nm but if you have removed the whole lot then the carrier mounting bolts been to be alot tighter 125Nm IIRC... Wheel bolts are 110Nm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted May 2, 2005 There's one bolt at the top just to give the caliper a bit of room to get the pads out then the two caliper to carrier bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Be careful with the 2 tight bolts that hold the carrier to the hub. I did this job on the Passat a year or so ago, tried to put it all back together and found that I had bent the one of the mounting lugs on the hub by doing it up too tight with a big bar. It needed a bit of heat and judicious hammering to straighten it all up. Moral of the story; use a torque wrench, not a length of steel water pipe..
