Any of the tech gurus know the tightening torque for the brake caliper and the caliper carrier bolts?

Any idea why it says "Always renew if removed" because they don't appear to be TTY bolts

MurrayA4

The "always renew" suggestion is likely a liability thing, I'm being kind because I'm sure they don't make any $$ off this stuff - hah ! It's been around for a while amongst all manufacturers.As you stated the exceptions are TTY "stretch bolts" and any hardware components that are visually in need of replacement.

In my experiences in the case of bolt number 4 they come with locktite pre-installed. As Murray said more than likely a liability thing. I have reused them without issue by re-applying locktite.
Bolt 16 & 17 are obviously TTY and should be replaced.

MurrayA4

Yes the "locktite" observation is very valid.Usually blue but sometimes green.It's also always wise to clean out the threaded surfaces with brake cleaner etc.

Does anyone here know where if local auto part stores carry the front brake bolts 3 and 4 as well as the rear bolts 4, 16, and 17? Or should I just go to the dealer to get them
