alright im gona take my rotors to get machined...hopefully i dont have to buy new ones after they mic em..

anyways, after you take off the caliper...there is like a brace that the caliper sits on....to take that off, there is 2 bolts that you have to remove, is there a set torque that you have to tighten these out to?

if so what is the torque? or do you just tighten them resonably hard with your hands?

Also what is the size of the socket i should use you to take em off? im asking so that i dont have to go under there and find out i dont have the damn socket, and then put everything back on....

 

Help Me!!!! Argghh!!!

 

I'd say grab a torque wrench and measure it. If you don't have one, do a search on Google or check a Haynes manual.

 

ok....i thought of that already, i was just wondering if someone could give me an answer b4 i had to do that...and google...yea, didnt find anything lol

 

53 -72 ftlbs

 

cool thank you! hehe

 

Front bolts are 19 mm, torque 105 - 126 ft-lb.
Rear bolts are 17 mm, torque 28 - 38 ft-lb.
Caliper bolts torque 16 - 23 ft-lb.
Brake hose banjo bolts 12 - 14 ft-lb.
Bleeder srews 5 -7 ft-lb.

 

I'm a little confused. Is the caliper bolts suppose to be torqued to 105 - 126 ft lb or 16 - 23 ft lb?

 

the torque member (also called caliper bracket) bolts are 105-126 ft-lb (these are the bolts with the 19mm heads on the front brakes). The calipers themselves are held to the torque member (caliper bracket) with 14mm bolts which are torued to 16-23 ft-lb.

 

make sure to check the guide pins on the bracket (torque member). both are supposed to slide freely and have grease on them.

 

What kind of grease is best for these since the brakes are always under high heat?

If u are buying new brackets they will come with grease for the pins. U will need some high temp grease. Readily available from Autozone.

 

yea autozone sells the high temp stuff i mentioned it just costs more.

 

spoon feeding at it's finest!!!!

 

i didnt torque my bolts i just tighten good, is it bad
