Tools required for full discs & pad change please.
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 12:24 pm
Hi All,
To keep costs down, could someone help advise me on exactly what tools I need to do a full front and rear disc and pad change to my 2.1TD Exec saloon (97)
I have a wide array of standard sockets but I understand that hex and torx bits are required....which I don't have in large sizes.
I have the discs, pads etc. and have ordered a 1/2 inch torque drive 30-210nm.
Also, would anyone have the torque setting data for all the bolts involved please?
Also, will I need to wind back the pistons on front/rear or both....it's a full ABS model with electronic variable power steering.
Anything else I should be aware of? before I start?
Thanks
Dave
