sizes of bolts needed

[wilza0]

went to do my how to and came accross a problem what size is the hub bolt on the front and what size is the caliper allen key bolts to take off the calliper all front related cheers guys

[Blossey]

I assume you mean the hub nut? Don't ask why I have one sat next to my computer but you'll need a 30mm spanner to remove it (from the hub, not from my PC).

cheers blossey now i just need to know how to get the front caliper off what size allen key do i need

[ROG]

i woudnt use std allen keys, ive never got the calipers off with them, get a set of allen key `sockets` that go on a 3/8 or 1/2" breaker bar, im not sure on the size but it`l be in a set and there about 10 pound in the halfords

[dj_smurph]

front caliper is 7mm remembered that cause when i needed one the shop was sold out

[Fraz]

that is the size for the caliper , the one that holds the actual carrier for the caliper is 10mm ( if your removing the full thing)

[Tim2001]

Was gonna say 10 mm as well best if you have some sort of impact wrench as these can be a bit of a pain to undo iirc
