bolt torque on front brake caliper
- Thread starter Belgiumbarry
- Start date
According to the blue books, the front caliper halves should be torqued to:
45 to 55 Nm
4.5 to 5.5 mkp
33 to 40 ft. lbs.
It also notes not to reuse the expansion bolts.
By the way, rear calipers are quite different:
22 Nm
2.2 mkp
16 ft. lbs.
45 to 55 Nm
4.5 to 5.5 mkp
33 to 40 ft. lbs.

thanks Stephen !
i'm going to reuse the bolts and see if my overhauling is fine... afterwords i can always change them with new ones one by one.
I tought to do pad job this afternoon... ended up with everything open. :eek:...Pistons were sticking.... some rust in front of the seals.
Air pressure wasn't even enough to get them out... had to fabricate a adaptor so i could use my hydraulic pump !
Calipers seems Ok after cleaning, but i will need new pistons besides ofcourse the seals and dust caps.
