Anyone know caliper bolt torque?

I'm about to install new front rotors and pads on my '95 Maxima, and I'm wondering if anyone has the shop manual to look up the mounting bolt torque specs. As I under stand it, there are 4 bolts per side - two that hold the caliper to the carrier, and two bolts that hold the carrier to the hub.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could look this up for me.

Thanks,

Greg

It looks like the ones that hold the caliper on the car are at 72-97 ft/lbs and the carrier bolts are at 22-31 ft/lbs.

If someone could double check me on that before you do it though... Wouldn't be a bad idea.

Caliper mounting bracket bolts are 53-72 ft-lbs front and 28-38 ft-lbs rear.
Caliper mounting bolts are 16-23 ft-lbs front and rear.

My source is Haynes repair manual. Your numbers were for 72-97 NM= 53-72 Ft-lbs.
page 9-2. You just gave the torque specs in newton metres.
