rear carries-hub bolt?

Postby karl210 » Fri May 08, 2015 8:00 am

Hi,
Im doing the rear brake discs and pads on a megane 2005
Some people are saying the rear hub bolts that hold the carrier on are star sockets, some people are saying E sockets and some people are just saying its a normal socket.
Does anyone know which it is? I will be doing the job in a couple of hours so would appreciate it if someone could let me know by then.
Thanks

I've only ever seen standard sockets on slider bolts, they get pretty grungy and can take a decent amount of torque to loosen so star drives etc could chew up very easily.
The carrier bolt itself doesn't need to come off to change discs and pads, just remove the bottom one and swing the caliper upwards out of the way.
