Rear brake discs MK6 golf
« on: 22 November 2013, 19:49 »
What size spline socket do I need to remove my rear brake discs?

Does anyone know I think it's an M14, or does anyone know another name for it as no one / no where seem to stock spline sockets!

Alternatively I need these brakes doing ASAP does anyone know how much these will cost to fit?

Help ASAP

Calipers or discs?
I haven't looked at mine yet but the old MkIV had Allen headed bolts on the calipers, and the disc was held with a crosshead screw. On the MKIV it's a simple job to change over.
This might help:

My Mk6 has an Allen headed screw holding the disc to the backplate

You have to remove caliper and carrier to get to disc off these are bolts as in 13mm and 15mm i think then there is a torx retaining screw holding disc on to hub my disc was stuck to hub so a mallet an chunk of wood was required easy job
