Fiesta 2010 Discs And Pads Change

Just a quick query.

Can anyone confirm for me if a 7mm allen key is required for changing discs and pads on the Fiesta 2010?

I know most Fords do have these but just want to be sure.

Also if anyone knows the recommended torque setting for them that would be great?

Many thanks

James

    James I believe all the mk7 no longer use the 7mm Allen key anymore.

    They are the sliding pin type with hex head bolts - which should come with your new pads

    Oh right ok. I will need to check that when they turn up. I have just ordered a discs and pads set from ebay.

    If its a star/torx headed bolt then thats fine.

    Thanks for the info.
