Brake hardware torque specs

The6ofus · Apr 17, 2019

The 2017 we bought recently clearly had new brakes installed by the dealer on the front. The rears are probably original, the truck was a rental, sitting at 42000 miles and they are definitely in need of attention.

I would like to disassemble the front brakes to make sure they were installed properly and I have a powerstop kit for the rear replacement. All I’m lacking are the torque specs to reassemble everything. Anyone have that info? Thanks in advance!

Dumbest thing I’ve heard all day.

Sounds like something I did when I was a teenager wrenching on my first vehicle. Thanks?

Hardly anyone or shop torque wrenches caliper pins or bolts. Hub bearing nuts and lug nuts, yes...but not caliper pins etc.
Tight. Tight enough to not come loose and no too tight as to snap or strip them off.
A torque wrench a good starting point for those just getting started working on cars so as not to strip anything out, but many fasteners are not critical to be at an exact torque.

I think the Chilton and Haynes repair manuals gave a whole list of specs or at least listed spec in each repair section.

Should be able to google a lists.
