Just a quickie chaps

I have the squeaky pad syndrome going on. Whats the procedure for caliper removal

Is it just the 2 allen bolts as per the TDI or the 4 torx bolts at the back of the caliper

Cheers
 
Squeaky pad syndrome, whats that when its at home.

I know of rattly pad or screeching but not squeaky.

Trying to remember but I'm sure it was just the 2 bolts hidden by the plastic caps, I'll have to check as havnt touched mine for ages, brakes that is :)
 
Yup, 2 big bolts hold the caliper to the hub. The torx bolts are to split the caliper (I think, can't picture the back of the thing).
 
Yep. It's the 2 Allen bolts hidden by the plastic caps. You'll have to compress the piston while it's in place to allow the calliper to come off
 
ha, yes matey. we should have a jaffa meet
