Torx bolts, front caliper
Can someone please tell me the size of the torx bolts on the front caliper? 1998 2.0 hdi. Thank you in advance, Andrew
Re: Torx bolts, front caliper
On the v6's with the Brembos the bolts are Tx55 and are tightened to 120Nm (or 90lb.ft), with some threadlock for good measure.
I can't imagine them being different on the other models.

Thanks for that. My range goes to T50 and I knew it was bigger but not sure whether it was T55 or T60.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Mine were as tight as anything but found that trying to do it up a little first then undo it helps

Yep, a little whack often does the trick!
