Laser 3799 Spline Bit Set M14 2pc

Product Information

I see that Irwin do some removers for this. Anyone used them with success pls,or know any other way. I used wd40 before trying but it's an absolute **** Wind the piston in, remove the arm for the handbrake from the rear of the caliper. With a rubber hammer or a piece of wood tap the bolt the handbrake mechanism into the caliper. This will push the piston out a bit, then using air blow the piston out. A foot pump will do if you don’t have a compressor. Use the plastic tapered connector that comes with pumps and apply it to the brake pipe inlet after you’ve removed all the brake fluid. Otherwise use some grips to remove the piston. I wouldn’t recommend reusing the pistons as replacements are cheap enough. The piston will come out with the handbrake mechanism attached and it simply screwed off from there. Although the mechanic said it was letting dirt in I can't see any full splits in it, however that is only visual inspection and I am aware that it could be split and I'm not just seeing it. If there is damage when I take them apart I'll replace them.

RS PRO XZN M14 Spline Bit Socket, 1/2 in Drive, 100 mm

Hi Aj77, I had done much research on-line and found that most mechanics report that they always reuse these bolts. If you have access to an air tool, these carrier bolts do come out easilly. I'm pleased that I managed it with limited facilities and I did clean the threads and reused the bolts with a little blue Loctite on the threads and tightened them using a torque wrench. This was a simple but prolonged job which took me a week of daily spraying K2 Vulcan penetrating oil, My biggest worry was if the splines stripped, what do I do then, so I will keep your method in mind for when I do my own Octavia in the summer. With mating/sliding parts lightly lubricated with fresh brake fluid, insert the fluid seal in the caliper, slide the dust seal over the piston, offer the piston/seal to the caliper and work the piston around like stirring a bowl to help the dust seal pop into place. Also with the rears am I correct in thinking I need a special tool to remove one bolt? M14 spline bit is what I vaguely recall needing?!

The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. Designed for use on Chrysler and Land Rover VM engines, Laser Tools new Spline Bit, M14 x 100mm Long 1/2"D (part 4147) can also work on the lower ball joints on VW Transporter/T4 vehicles.I think I am getting myself mixed up, you are correct there is no need to remove it, I was remembering when I had to change something else which required it's full removal! Once seal and piston are fitted and ready to be rewound fully into the caliper, either use a proper tool or improvise with wide pipe grips to grip the very end of the piston and rotate bit by bit to screw it in. The welder is a good way of applying heat exactly where you need it. Much better than a wimpy blowtorch. It's a bloody nightmare and I needed a special spline drive m14. You dont have any room to get a long enough bar in. Its probably much easier in a garage up on a proper lift. then the ground wouldn't get in the way and you could use a longer bar.

remove rear brake caliper mounting bracket? Which socket to remove rear brake caliper mounting bracket?

I know this question has been asked before but I can’t find any posts even using the search (could be me searching wrong) I tried to remove the rear caliper carriers on my vrs. I had a large torque wrench with a slight extension on to reach m14 spline bolt. Trouble is when I used full force it shredded the spline bolt.Absolutely spot on. Don't waste your money on snap on. .when you can get these for a fraction of the price Thanks mate. I've tried tapping the shaft through the caliper but it won't budge. I was a bit hesitant as I didn't want to damage anything and didn't know which way it was supposed to go anyway. I've even given it some heat. Do I need to give it a harder bash or even press it out? Also, I take it there's a spring somewhere on the shaft? It's almost easier to cut the heads off the bolts with a Dremel, you'll go through a few blades but you should really be replacing the bolts anyway so it's no loss on bolts and it's easy to do, takes about 10-15mins to cut a head off. Halfords Advanced hand tools come with a Lifetime Guarantee. Should a Halfords Advanced hand tool fail while being used for the purpose and in the manner for which it was designed, it will be inspected and replaced.

M14 Male Spline Deep Impact Impacted Socket 1/2in Drive Total

With piston still protruding fit the dust seal, a little red grease helps push it in the recess. Once in secure with the metal ring, easiest to keep the open end of the ring away from the bridge of the caliper. This often the hardest part as you need to push the ring into the recess, which is allows a fight as you try not to puncture the dust seal. Once seated pull the dust cover out so the outer end fits into the recess on the piston. Move the piston in and out to ensure the dust cover stays in place. On my last service the mechanic noted that the rubber gasket around the piston on both rear callipers was worn and letting dirt in. I’ve bought 2 rebuild kits for the rears however I was just looking for clarification on how the pistons come out. I know on the fronts I can use compressed air to blow them out as I have done that before, however with the rears I’m unsure if they need winding out or blowing out… or some total other method. Hope this makes sense. They are tightened by first a torque then a further angle to stretch them. (Like 70nm + 90degrees) it is what stops them undoing and they are single use. It says under each of these torque settings in the manual “replace after each removal” I know this is an old thread, but the post by CWARD is of interest to me. I'm currently restoring an old caliper off my Octy PD 1.9Tdi Estate and I cannot figure out how to remove the handbrake spindle. Everything else is off but I need to get the spindle out as it's damaged from being seized. Is it possible to get this spindle out, or is it new caliper time? The reason they are tight is they are stretch bolts. VW group use them on most of their suspension and brake components.

This is correct. One of the places that does not use stretch bolts is the front caliper carrier. These can be re-used if clean and undamaged. There is nothing wrong with people maintaining their cars, but these cars have modern materials, processes and sometimes need particular tools. There will be all the usual people that say they have re-used them with no issue etc etc but that is what it says quite clearly in the factory manual. Personally I will occasionally use some of the less critical bolts again, only if I know for certain they were stretched no more than once previously. Bigger ones or anything on my brakes I replace each time. size disc calipers are as follows..& I think the 340mm are the same as the same base caliper casting:- What's it like doing the rear discs on a mk3? On the mk2 it was a bloody nightmare as there was hardly any access to get at the caliper bolts.
