Hey Folks,

Long story short, my beloved and sacred Haynes Manual got destroyed when the roof on the garage failed to perform it's primary function. Boo Hoo Hoo, I know.

Anyhoo, can anyone tell me the torque settings for the Allen bolts that hold the brake discs onto the front wheel please.

Cheers,
Aaron.

Only 22Nm for a NC35

Put some thread lock on too.

20nm mate!!!!!!

Cheers Fellas. I appreciate your help.

Suppose I should've pointed out that it's a VFR400 NC30.So with that in mind 20 nm then?

Have got new bottle of threadlock all ready to go.

Thanks again.
Aaron.

Excellent. Thanks again.

Managed to ring two bolts removing the old discs. Cock!

Any ideas on how to get them shifted?

Use an old Torx (star shape) socket thats just a little bigger than the allen fastner you have rounded and knock it in the hole with a hammer , then undo as normal. Its a bit "belt and braces" way out but 9 times out of 10 works for me on old bolts! Hence I allways keep a set of old Torx sockets handy! in the event that this fails, just get a 7mm drill bit and drill the heads off, chances are the threads arn't too tight and you can use a pair of mole grips to remove the remaining peice of stud.

Dont forget that a gentle appication of directed heat will almost allways help, a gas soldering iron with a flame tip is handy for small fastners or a propane/acetylene torch for the big stuff.
