AP front brake disks and alloy bells...

[Campbell]

Hi all just a quick on, have any one taken the front disks off the alloy bells to replace the disks.
What im looking for is there a torque setting for the 8 bolts when reassembling to the alloy bells.
I got a good set of disks and had a little bit of work on them and they look good.

Just wanted to ask the massiv what they need to be set at.

Cheers

I don't think there will be any documented torque.
So best measure the bolt size, and use the same Torque as a bolt the same size that goes into the ali-block.

On the hi-spec site some information is listed regarding torque of the bolts to an alloy bell. Quite low when I saw it, and it is stated that it shouldn't be overdone. Probably the same applies for AP alloy bells I would think.

Will do Leigh, i think ill be getting some new bolts for them.
I found out on a site taking about AP's the troque is as low as 11 to 15ftlb so ill be going them in that area i think.

The very low Torque on the AP bolts are for the bells to disc, these are the 12 x 5-6mm bolts with lock nuts. so best make sure you looking at the right size nuts for the Torque.
