Brake Parts Needed Check...

[dabear95]

Going to order parts for my rear brakes this week and wanted to make sure I have everything I need:

Balo Rotos
Genuine VW Pads
Some lubricant for the slider bolts

Do I need two (2) of 8E0 498 470 ?


I can not find the dust boots seperatly, seems a bit much. Do most people reuse the dust boots and bolts?

Edit - I see the OEM pads come with bolts, so I really need the part number for the dust boots and I am all set.

for normal wear and tear, that is all you'll need

Understood, do you happen to know if I can get the boots seperatly? The VW pads come with new bolts and that part number has two more bolts and only two dust boots...



Thanks,

I don't know, typically they come in a rebuild kit

try b 8E0 698 470

That is the correct part number, thanks!

I went with AKEBONO Ceramic pads/Balo rotors from BleachedBora. The AKEBONE pads do not come with the bolts so I ordered two of the kits so I have all new boots/bolts.


Thanks!

The repair kits come with a packet of lubricant. Is this for the back of the pads or the slider bolts?


The pads also came with some lubricant, back of pads?

It's been a long time since I did brake's myself, I know it is not hard I just want to go over all the details...

The lube with the repair kit is for the sliders. Says so on the back of the pouch. Doh!
