Brake caliper torque spec needed
Hello
What are the torque specs for the front calipers? All 6 bolts:
2 bolts that attach caliper to wheel hub, take 21mm 13/16 wrench
4 bolts that screw caliper halves together, take hex key.
And, should I put a dab of loctite on some or all? (Didn't have any when taken apart.)
Thanks Art

'2 bolts that attach caliper to wheel hub, take 21mm 13/16 wrench' - 200 Nm or 148 ft-lb
the other bolts you are talking about I assume it's the 'brake caliper to pad carrier'(in the service manual)- that would be 25 Nm or 18 ft-lb
