tristanspence · May 25, 2011

tightened my rear wheel bearings today, and noticed on both sides rear the pads have dropped and are srcoing on the disk. have done a search and people seem to be suggesting raplacement calipers (yet more money

).

only problem is im not sure if thery are metric or imperial ones. its a 1993 k reg 200 tdi, any sugestions??

metric bolt is bihex headed imperial is hexagonal headed imperial rtc5889 and rtc5890 £35 each metric smc500110 and smc500240 £26 each only fit a pair (referring to bolt holding caliper to axle)

rear caliper bolts are hex, front caliper bolts are bi-hex, so is it definatly imperial on the rear?

tristanspence · May 26, 2011

those numbers you gave i guess they are part numbers? should be printed on caliper some where?

jamesmartin · May 26, 2011

they are part nos but not on caliper cant you see bolts i mentioned

yer the rear ones have hex bolts, so must be imperial. just thought it was strange that the fronts have bi hex so must be metric on the front?

rear brake calipers, which ones?
