Hey yurman, sounds like you keep your laptop in your toolbox? :question:

yutman AFAIK these are regular threads. Yet messing with those bolts is a bit tricky - torquing and bearing set up. If you haven't downloaded the service manual or bought Clymers, I strongly recommend to do so before you start work. There is a thread lock compound, so you need a big braking force or heat up the bolt. I assume, that you have a proper torque wrench to assembly the whole thing?

Best regards,

Best regards,

Having destroyed a counter sunk bolt when replacing the rear disk rotor I recommend HEAT, especially if thread lock compounds are involved. This is tricky and may requires a good deal of heat to expand the bolt hole and soften the locking plastic compound before you lean on it.

My advice is : take your time, get the correct tools and don't force things unduly.

One will not find information regarding Paralever suspension of K16V in Haynes. Such chapter is in Clymer book or factory workshop manual (free to download).
