R1100RT Front brake discs

[Krolroger]

Hello everybody,

 

I am about to replace the brake discs, pads, bobbins and disc carriers on my front wheel (1995 R1100RT). Should I also replace the twelve screws (six on each side) that fasten the carrier to the wheel or can I re-use the old ones?

 

Also, please confirm whether loctite is required for these fasteners on a cast wheel.

 

Many thanks.

According to the BMW service manusl:

 

RT Front - no loctite, no requirment for new screws 21 Nm

Observe correct direction of rotation and sensor gap

 

RT Rear - loctite 273, no requirement for new screws 21 Nm

Observe correct sensor gap

I have re-used the screws and did put a little locktite on them. Not the permanent locktite!
