Hi guys
advice please. I have new genuine front discs, plus pads and caliper bolts. From the forum I have picked up the bolts may snap that hold the caliper. If so how difficult is it to drill these? Are the holes blind or can the broken bolt be drilled straight through? Vehicle is X reg 406 100 HDi
thanks
regards Teza

Re: brake caliper bolts
I thought that was the small bolts that hold the calliper to the slider that break? The ones you undo when you change the pads. Or did I misread that one?

Hi
I've changed the pads before and the small ones were O.K. So are you saying that the ones that hold the calier on usually undo O.K?

Re: brake caliper bolts
Hi
Just changed mine recently, had no problems with the caliper bolts or slider bolts. Had to drill one of the disc screws out, but there was enough left to undo with a screwdriver to knock it round. Or should be enough to grip with mole grips after the disc is off.
Had to hammer the discs off as they were stuck to the hubs,
make sure you get a decent set of torx bit sockets as they are needed for the caliper bolts and the disc screws. Buy some spare disc screws before hand if case you have to drill out, but i would change them anyway, only about £0.35 each from Peugeot.
Put some coppergrease betweeb hub and disc, so next time should be easier to remove.
