Hi Bob / Ken,
my european, 1996, 318i, 120,000 k, has warped disks. I've bought new disks and pads and i'm guessing i'll have a bitch of a time getting the wheel nuts off as the disks warped due to heat caused by friction when they were badly fitted.
I know there will be a centre nut holding the disks on, and that it will be a big sucka. Before i get the wheel nuts off, do you know the size of the socket i'll need to get the large nut off that holds the disk in place?
I only have access to one car and once the nuts are off I'd like to get the job done without having to put the wheel back on and go find the right socket.
Any advise you can offer would be much appreciated.
