Subject:Question about replacing front brake pads
From:Ed Shultz
Date:Tue, 10 Jul 2001 08:30:02 -0400

Hi Folks,

How many of you replace those self locking bolts that hold the front
calipers on? I recently replaced the front pads on my '87 Syncro. The
service manual states that those bolts MUST be replaced when the calipers
are re-installed. I have the single piston type caliper, Girling?

I didn't have these bolts when I started the brake job. I re-installed the
existing bolts. Is this a real bad thing?

TIA,

Ed
