The pack contains four screws and is sold under the reference numbers 34211161806 and 34111157343. The supplier lists them for a range of BMW models, including the E36, E46, E82 and E88 named in the listing title. Easy Life Markets sells them as a simple, low-cost item to have on hand before you start a brake job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn most BMWs each brake disc is held to the hub by a single small screw. It does not carry any braking load. The wheel bolts do that once the wheel is fitted. The screw's job is to keep the disc flat and correctly positioned on the hub while the wheel is off, and to stop it shifting when the wheel goes back on. The trouble is that these screws live in heat, water and road salt. They seize, the hex rounds out, and they often have to be drilled out. Fresh screws make reassembly easy.

It makes the next brake job much easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten the screw to the figure in the BMW service information. It is a low torque. The screw only locates the disc, so there is no benefit in doing it up hard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefit the wheel and torque the wheel bolts correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier reminds buyers to wear protective gear when handling or fitting auto parts. If the screws are being fitted as part of a full brake job and you are not experienced with brakes, have a qualified mechanic do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Supplier Says\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier describes the screws as made from materials that resist corrosion and wear, and says they hold the rotor securely to help prevent vibration and looseness. It also describes them as simple to install. The 10.9 marking on the head in the photo is a standard strength class marking for metric fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Small Part Worth Having in the Toolbox\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you service BMWs regularly, keep a spare pack. Nothing holds up a Saturday brake job like finding a snapped set screw when every parts counter is closed. With four in the pack you have enough for a full set of discs, or spares for two axle jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho These Screws Are For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are for BMW owners doing their own brakes, independent BMW specialists and general garages.
