The Caliper bolts are 23 ft/lbs.

Found this but seems the David Farmer site has disappeared.

Rick, thanks. 23 ftlb seems low, especially since they were a bear to get off,but that is also because they put thread locker on them. Probably low because aluminum. Thanks.

Do we need to put on new loctite blue before replacing the caliper bolts?

Yes and you are suppose to put in new bolts but nobody does.

Yes, David closed his website - but, he's still got his great torque spec sheets in the cloud. Links are on his Facebook site, but here's a link to a forum post with links to his data:
