Laser 3799 Spline Bit Set M14 2pc

Product Information

I know this question has been asked before but I can’t find any posts even using the search (could be me searching wrong) 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.

Rear brake caliper disassembly FL MK2 - Skoda Octavia Mk II

Hi Aj77, I had done much research on-line and found that most mechanics report that they always reuse these bolts. If you have access to an air tool, these carrier bolts do come out easilly. I'm pleased that I managed it with limited facilities and I did clean the threads and reused the bolts with a little blue Loctite on the threads and tightened them using a torque wrench. This was a simple but prolonged job which took me a week of daily spraying K2 Vulcan penetrating oil, My biggest worry was if the splines stripped, what do I do then, so I will keep your method in mind for when I do my own Octavia in the summer.Thanks mate. I've tried tapping the shaft through the caliper but it won't budge. I was a bit hesitant as I didn't want to damage anything and didn't know which way it was supposed to go anyway. I've even given it some heat. Do I need to give it a harder bash or even press it out? Also, I take it there's a spring somewhere on the shaft? size disc calipers are as follows..& I think the 340mm are the same as the same base caliper casting:- Thank you to everyone else also, this has given me far more confidence to do the work and what tools are needed! The reason they are tight is they are stretch bolts. VW group use them on most of their suspension and brake components.

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.Manufacturer -Neilsen. Size - M14. 2pc Spline Bit Set. 10mm Hex drive. Dispatch will normally be within 24 hours of funds clearing.

Torque on disk callipers? - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020 Torque on disk callipers? - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020

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. Depending on the depth/amount of any corrosion you may be able to clean it up with some very fine sandpaper. Obviously this will only be a temporary repair but it will last a while - monitor for fluid loss. I think I am getting myself mixed up, you are correct there is no need to remove it, I was remembering when I had to change something else which required it's full removal! There is nothing wrong with people maintaining their cars, but these cars have modern materials, processes and sometimes need particular tools.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” Thank you, I thought it was a M14! I'll buy one tonight, they will have to come off to get at the seals properly! Having read what the others have said it would seem these ones wind out!
