Hello
Can you tell me which star key is needed to remove the caliper on a Fiat 500L?
Good morning,
Please indicate the tightening torques….We don’t tighten screws at random!
Thanks to Alban BRAZ for the tightening torques.

This is a tutorial so Christian Viniacourt is absolutely right to make this comment. Of course you have to give the tightening torques. We show people the right way to do it so we tighten to the torque.
I give the torques I have for Fiat 500: brake disc on hub: 12N.m, caliper/brake support on hub: 55N.m
Check out the TECHNICAL REVIEW!
Too bad some technical details are missing, for example thread lock on the caliper support bolts
