[Brakes] Rear hub nut n calliper bracket bolt size.

[Jollyroger]

Hi folks.
Got a 2013 1.6 HDI Berlingo van and looking to do the rear disks n pads. Anyone know the size of the torx bit for the calliper bracket and the size of the hub nut? 
Looks as though you need to replace hub nut too. Is this correct?
Cheers

Maybe an E16 spanner will fit the caliper bolts. No need to touch the hub bolt / driveshaft nut when doing disks and pads.

The Rear discs require the hub nut to be removed as the disc is part of the hub.

The video shows the procedure and the tools required are listed in the description.

They do good videos, shame about the prices (at least for the parts that I've looked up!).

Yes they do good clear videos.

I've no experience of buying from them as like you say some of the prices seem a bit steep.

Really, thats a bit daft and over engineered, I mustn't have replaced the rear disks when I had my berlingo then. Every other vehicle I've ever done has just needed the calliper bracket removing and a single torx bolt holding the disk to the hub.

The M59 versions did have the rear disc separate to the hub, my car has rear discs and the discs are separate.

I think all B9 versions have the hub/disc rears, it's also more expensive to replace them as the hub has the wheel bearing, so you're paying for the whole lot instead of just a new disc.

Spot on JJ.

Also the wheel bearing is the abs trigger, so you have to do the lot if either the bearing, abs or disc needs changing.
