brake calliper bolts w211

[terry@yarmouth]

following on, ive purchased me pads and discs + new bolts sensors etc. painted dsc hubs with hammerite, very pleased with the result. next step is stripping the old ones out and replacing with new. now for the question, any one got any idea the correct torque for the caliper bolts, are front and rear the same ? thanks for any input.

Hi just to say, get some penetrating oil on the bolts and let it do its job before you break open ,also use a new ring spanner or openend .I had problems opening mine up not a lot of room to work.Also it will scrap your existing bolts if they have been in there for some time. I used a smalll jack under the spanner to get it to open up the bolt. Good luck.
