About this deal
The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. There will be all the usual people that say they have re-used them with no issue etc etc but that is what it says quite clearly in the factory manual. Personally I will occasionally use some of the less critical bolts again, only if I know for certain they were stretched no more than once previously. Bigger ones or anything on my brakes I replace each time. Most other large bolts are 200Nm+180° And should be replaced, as should the 90Nm+90° bolts for the rear carrier. It is all in the manual ...RTFM Designed for use on Chrysler and Land Rover VM engines, Laser Tools new Spline Bit, M14 x 100mm Long 1/2"D (part 4147) can also work on the lower ball joints on VW Transporter/T4 vehicles.
spline bolt as it - BRISKODA How can I remove the caliper spline bolt as it - BRISKODA
All content is viewed and used at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of any of the information. This is correct. One of the places that does not use stretch bolts is the front caliper carrier. These can be re-used if clean and undamaged.I tried to remove the rear caliper carriers on my vrs. I had a large torque wrench with a slight extension on to reach m14 spline bolt. Trouble is when I used full force it shredded the spline bolt.

There is nothing wrong with people maintaining their cars, but these cars have modern materials, processes and sometimes need particular tools. The reason they are tight is they are stretch bolts. VW group use them on most of their suspension and brake components. An arc will be in the 2000C range, so you only need a couple of seconds to get a bolt red hot. A blowtorch at around 700C will take ages to do the same. All the while heat is escaping to do naughty things elsewhere. They are tightened by first a torque then a further angle to stretch them. (Like 70nm + 90degrees) it is what stops them undoing and they are single use. It says under each of these torque settings in the manual “replace after each removal” What's it like doing the rear discs on a mk3? On the mk2 it was a bloody nightmare as there was hardly any access to get at the caliper bolts.BRISKODA is owned and operated by Summit 360 Ltd, registered in England & Wales, company number 05710517.
