Hello All,
I'm a newbie to this forum. I have just replaced the rear brake pads on my Tradesman with Bendix Advanced. An easy job. Can anyone tell me what the torque settings are for the mounting bolts from the caliper to the axle? If you're an oldie like me and still use ft/lbs for torquing bolts, here's a website with a useful converter that will work for converting from metric to imperial or imperial to metric. Just copy and paste the address into your web browser: usewww.srtorque.com/torqueconv.html |

Tight is tight, too tight is stripped.

Tight as your wrists can handle on a 12" bar 1/2 " drive. That is without pulling the car off the jack that is. if your worried use thread lock.

"Caliper retaining bolts 68-92 Nm" 62 foot lbs, as I entered 85 Nm. You'd be right with 60 lbs though! All the best with it! GK

anything i torque on cars is the two finger torque method. two fingers on the bar and pull as hard as you can with two fingers.
