Ap disc replacement

[TMAQ]

I have a new set of AP bolts, so I will do it as you say, but AP recomends between 15 and 20 Nm torque

Best regards

there is a AP diagram somewhere (probably posted by shimmy), similar to the one on this post which states 14nm.

I found this:

Ap def states 14Nm

I posted the instructions of Perfomance Friction Brakes, that are the discs that I am going to install.

So, what torque should I apply?

PF disc on AP bells with AP nuts and bolts

doubt it matters tbh as 14-16 Nm is pretty loose anyway.

Try 15Nm and cross your fingers

Thanks, I wil try 15 Nm and let´s see what happens. In this moment I have the AP discs with cracks and almost "destroyed" but the car brakes perfect, very hard and no vibrations. I will try to change the rotors without dismount the caliper, but I suppose that is going to be very difficult.

easy, just have to get it straight to the calliper and it goes straight in as long as pistons are in :thumbs:

So the steps are:

1. Jack the car
2. Remove whell :hahaha:
3. Remove pads
4. Move the pistons into the caliper
5. Remove bolts between discs and bells
6. Remove discs?

Sorry for my poor english...

No

1. Jack the car
2. Remove wheel :hahaha:
3. Remove pads
4. Move the pistons into the calipers
5. Undo two screws holding bell/disc to hub
6. Remove discs
7. When off the car remove bolts holding bell to old disc

Arrow points upwards and obviously the tubes hold the clip in place

Thanks shim.

That's what I did but just wanted to check I was on the right track...

witht he anti rattle clips the only two mistakes you can make - which i know very well are

1. The front ones upside down
2. The rear ones inside out (should bow in to the calliper to hold the pad, not out)
