Rear Brake Carrier bolt

Gazzer83 · Jul 29th, 2013, 14:38

I went to replace the rear disc's and pads on my V40 yesterday. I got the caliper off and the bottom bolt on the carrier but some kind sole has rounded off the top bolt. Does anyone know where i can get some new bolts from. Its the 14mm head ones.

Have you tried the rear discs and pads place?

Gazzer83 · Jul 29th, 2013, 15:50

Yes have tried them, but no joy. I was just wondering if some one knew the Dims and i could order them off the net.

A main dealer will stock them, alternately take the one bolt you have removed to a local engineering supplier (warehouse) and see if they have any in stock - Mike

Try Gatos/Alex in the sales section, hes breaking a car now. Would you believe I binned just such a thing on Friday, should have known better.

Thank you Mikealder and Pacmen67.
I have asked Gatos if he has any, failing that it will be a trip to the local scrappy. (not so local).

It was 8 years ago so OP might not be about anymore

I have always used heat ( blowlamp ) and then hammered on a smaller 12 point socket ( not a six point one )
