Orientation of Performance Friction discs

[shimmy]

Shimmy, you're not running Lo-Spec calipers are you?!

i personally dont use my brakes, i just throw the car in sideways :thumbs:

but for you hobby drivers and car park cavaliers here is an M3 sheet from AP (the online one for 5575 cappilers doesnt show torque but it is the same for BOLT 10 - look at the table mid left)

Hey T$, BET YOU WERE WASHING DOWN fAVA BEANS WITH THAT cHIANTI WERENT YA !!.... oh bollox.... not typing all that again :hahaha:

[breeze]

the disc bolts are torqued i think to 14nm, hand tight virtually

Yep as above - 14nm (10.5lb/ft or similar).

The bolts that came off were a lot tigher and had definitely been over tightened. A few snapped off.

Worth getting a spare set of AP bolts ahead of time if you have the chance...

theya re lock nuts so you should replace all of them really (especially as they are brakes)

i have replaced mine 3 times and every time they are a few that break and a loads that are really tight but they all were originally only 14nm tight:whistle:
