Subject: More brake rotor retainer screw problems <E36>
Awhile back, I mentioned that there was a production run of Ribe 8x16mm
rotor/drum retainer screws manufactured with the wrong thread pitch. Forced
installation of these screws would surely cause major problems the next time
the rotors were to be removed. Thread pitch should be 8x1.25mm, not
8x1.0mm. BMW went to a different allen head retainer screw
(34211161806) with the E36 models and it now appears that Ribe has again
produced a run with the wrong thread pitch. If you've picked up a set of
these screws from a dealer or local parts house, check the thread pitch
before starting the job. With any of these screws, put a small amount of
high temp anti-seize compound on the threads before installing them. SD
