Product Information

anyone tell me the bolt sizes for the caliper carriers, front and rear, the 12 star torx jobs - I want to buy some before I attempt to change the discs(all round) on my pre fl 140 beast, I think hex heads will be easier to handle than the 12 stars, especially on the rears!! The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. When it comes to the automotive world, they are very similar. Both are recommended for high-torque scenarios. Both are built to be durable and stand up to the constant pounding that a lot of torque can deliver to a part.

Sizes are M4, M5, M6, M8, M9, M10, M12, M14, M16, and M18. Despite the similar naming scheme to metric fasteners, there is no correlation between the name of the size and the dimensions of the tool. The triple-square, also known as XZN, is a type of screw drive with 12 equally spaced protrusions, each ending in a 90° internal angle. The name derives from overlaying three equal squares to form such a pattern with 12 right-angled protrusions (a 12-pointed star). In other words, three Robertson squares are superimposed at a successive 30° rotation. The design is similar to that of the double-square—in both cases, the idea being that it resembles a square (Robertson) but can be engaged at more frequent angles by the driver bit. These screws can be driven with standard Robertson bits.Resistance to camming. One of the biggest benefits of the Torx bits is that they resist cam-out better than a traditional Phillips or flathead would. Cam-out is where the screwdriver slips out while turning the head. Repeated cam-out can damage the screw head, making it difficult to use going forward. Don't know the MY for your Yeti but the parts diagrams for brakes on a MY2014 are here and will hopefully help. Yes, there is already a great rear wheel bearing DIY in this forum ( http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5531205-Rear-wheel-bearing-diy&highlight=rear+wheel+bearing) but things get lost over time (see the doing it wrong thread that was lost a little bit ago) and so I'm posting mine up. Triple-square drive fasteners have been used in high-torque applications, such as cylinder head bolts and drive train components. The fasteners involved have heads that are hardened and tempered to withstand the driving torque without destroying the star points. They are commonly found on German vehicles such as BMW, Opel, Mercedes, Porsche and those from the Volkswagen Group ( Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Volkswagen).

Optimum torque. Anyone who has worked on a vehicle knows how difficult it can be to remove a seized nut or bolt. Triple Square is great for high-torque applications. For automotive needs, that means things like drive train components and cylinder head bolts which can be tougher to remove than other components. M14 Bolts (brake carrier to wheel bearing housing): 90 Nm + 90 deg [66 ft-lb + 90 deg] (use new bolts) Tamper resistance. Initially, Torx screws were highly tamper-resistant because there were not screwdrivers or drive systems widely available. Since they have become more common, there are variants that are tamper-resistant.You don't have permission to access "http://www.autozone.com/screwdrivers/driver-bit/p/oemtools-triple-square-bit-set-9-piece/191052_0_0" on this server.

High torque applications. The reason for the implementation of triple square bits is due to the high torque applications that vehicles can require. When it comes to drive train components and cylinder head bolts, the triple square bit offers a higher allowable torque to remove even the toughest or most seized components. Durability. Because of the improved fit and its ability to take on larger torque capacity, Torx bits tend to make removal easier. Not only is that better for the user, but it is better for the overall durability of the bits themselves. There is a reason why Torx bits tend to last a long time.All content is viewed and used at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of any of the information. That’s a hard question to answer because of the different applications. If we were grading them simply on their qualities, Torx would win based on versatility alone. Torx bits can be used in automotive-like triple squares, but they have so many other applications as well. Cam-resistant. Anyone who has used a traditional screwdriver more than a few times has likely experienced cam-out. It can be frustrating in the moment and make removing a screw that much more difficult. Torx is great at reducing cam-out, making for an easier overall removal experience. Hook up the VCDS system and retract the EPB piston using the instructions found here ( http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/VW_Passat_(3C)_Parking_Brake). Heed all warnings. They ain't messin' around. I'm aware that some people have been able to remove the rear caliper with a VCDS system but that seems extremely risky. Neatness. Torx screws just happen to look neater. When it comes to high-end applications, there may be a need to line up square slotted heads. With the 6-point drive, there is no “lining it up.” That means less of a random look. The small things matter.
