Brake Master Cylinder Banjo Torque

[M12NTE]

Hi all

Quick question please. I?ve searched but not found the answer, so apologies if in here somewhere.

Can someone tell me the torque setting for the master cylinder banjo please?

Torque by hand until it stops leaking

I'd be contacting HEL or Venhil if I wasn't sure

12Nm ... but most people put more than as it feels so little.

One step ahead there. Still waiting for a reply

I've just checked on the Gen 4 latest values and both 10mm and 12mm banjo bolts they now spec 24Nm. Not surprising really....

Thanks Jamie. HEL have come back and confirmed min 14ft/lb with a max of 24lb/ft on the banjos to the Calipers.

 

[JamieMac]

Ft/lb or Nm?

 

[JamieMac]

So the centre of those ft/lb figures is 19 ft/lb which equals 25.76 Nm. 25 easy number to remember. So BMW aren?t too bad at 24 Nm.
