Default Brake caliper, rotor and lug torque specs (2012 DD - Crew AWD)

Hey guys,

I'm going to replace the brake pads and rotors on my 2012 DD (Crew AWD, 6 cylinder, standard brakes (no HD)) tonight, but I can't seem to find the torque specs for the caliper bolt, the rotor bolts or the wheel lugs! I mean, I can just take a stab from similar style vehicles, but does anyone have that information handy?

Let me know! Thanks!

Just turn them til they're tight. I've done lots of brake jobs and never once considered using a torque wrench. There is no gasket to seat or crush, nothing to warp, just crank them down and go.

Lug nuts are 110 lb/ft - it's right in the owner manual in the jacking and spare tire installation section.

Well, for future use, the caliper slide pin is 41 ft lbs. Lugs are 110 ft lbs.

Thanks for helping us out and sharing the info. On unknown figures I generally will ballpark the TQ rating and slowly increase in steps trying to tighten a bolt before I initially remove it waiting until I move the bolt and the TQ wrench doesn't click. Ive always been within a few ft-lbs with this method however it shouldn't be used on aluminum parts or bolts with any media applied. Thanks again bro.
