Mediocre request. I have got the job of doing the front discs and pads for a mate, and have lost the manual. Anyone confirm the tightening torques for the caliper bolts. Any special tools required (eg for the disc retaining bolt).
are the caliper slides prone to sieze on this model?
Thank you

If the caliper bolts are 10mm allen bolts, then I'm guessing it'll be 95Nm (as per what's written in my old Haynes Cavalier manual). To be honest though, just make sure they're done up tight and remember to put some stud lock on the threads.
I think you'll also need a 7mm allen key to remove the pads. However, as you're removing the caliper, you should be able to remove the pads without one.
Disks are held in place by a small phillips screw.

Be very carefull pushing the pistons back, they have a tendancy to invert the master cylinder seals, it's best to clamp the flexi and open the bleed screw and very slowely push pistons back.

Thank you
All information very useful, and knowing the allen key sizes before you start, and not halfway through, very useful
