I have a 2001 GC Sport, with disc pads in front and rear drums. Can some one pls tell me what the torque specs are for the Caliper Mounting bolts and the Caliper slide bolts. I think I've found the spec for the slide bolts 26ft? But haven't been able to find for the Caliper Mounting bolts?


Thanks

 

INSTALLATION - FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER (DISC/DISC BRAKES)
CAUTION: TRW and Continental Teves brake cali- pers are not interchangeable. Each caliper is specif- ically designed for the unique brake system (TRW - disc/drum brake combination and Continental Teves - disc/disc brake combination). If calipers are inter- changed, improper performance, noise and increased stopping distance can occur.
(1) Completely retract the caliper piston back into piston bore of the caliper. Use a C-clamp to retract the piston if necessary. Place a wood block over the piston before installing the C-clamp to avoid damag- ing the piston.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the brake cali- per assembly onto the steering knuckle, so that the seals on the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the steering knuckle bosses.
(2) Carefully position the brake caliper and shoes over the brake rotor and adapter.
(3) Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten to a torque of 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.). Extreme caution should be taken not to cross thread the caliper guide pin bolts.
(4) Install the anti-rattle clip on the outboard side of the caliper. Start the clip into the holes on the cal- iper, then stretch the clip legs past the abutments on the caliper adapter.
CAUTION: When connecting the brake hose to the caliper, install new brake hose to caliper special copper washers.
(5) Install the brake hose on the caliper. To do this, first place one NEW special fitting washer on each side of the hose fitting, then slide the banjo bolt through the fitting. Next, thread the banjo bolt into the threaded port on the rear of the brake caliper. Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 47 N·m (35 ft. lbs.).

 

Thank you for replying with the info. By any chance do you have to torque spec for the Caliper Mounting bracket to the knuckle?

 

Okay today went to Autozone and looked at a chilton manual that said the caliper mounting bracket to knuckle torque is 125ft lb.

Is that correct?

 

From memory, that's correct.
