Re: Sticky calipers

I've gone ahead and done the Alta-vista translation to save everyone some
time here.

Quoting quk@isham-research.demon.co.uk (Phil Payne):

Which translates to:

" note: In the repair record two selbsichernde hexagonal 
screws and two thermic protection sheet metals are contained 
to build those in each case are. " 

Ohhh, that clears things up nicely. How blind I've been.
I thought caliper bolts is caliper bolts.

" only complete one repair-corrodes inserts. " 

Aha, so I'm going to leave the next repair 
incomplete (maybe leave an old pad in) so
that it doesn't corrode the inserts.

" replacing. 35Nm " 

I'm fast, but I don't think I can replace 35 Nuts a 
minute (35Nm).  ;)

They also say "use Audi fluid only", use only OEM Audi parts,
"replace as an assembly".  Do I really want to buy a $300 
distributor for my V8Q because Audi says I have to replace 
the whole unit for a worn rotor??  Or do I just replace it
with the correct Bosche rotor for $18??  

I agree with the poster who says he's been reusing them with 
no problems.  I always clean the bolts up, never had a problem.
