Default 08 Caravan Caliper Bolt Torque Spec.

Gonna do the brakes on my parents 08 Caravan this weekend. I was looking around for the torque spec, but was unable to find one specific for 08. I see the older years specify 26 lbs, just wondering if it was the same. I have also never done brakes specifically on a caravan. I have done may other makes and models though. Anything I should be aware of on the caravan?

Thanks..
Greg

When I do brakes on 08's I just tighten the caliper bolts by feel. I know when a bolt is the right tightness. But I'll bet if you buy yourself a factory service manual, you'll have all the answers. After all do you parents plan on keeping the van?? if so wouldn't be advantageous to own a real manual?

Sounds Good.. I just always like to have a torque spec when it comes to stuff like that. I may look info a factory service manual..
