Torque specs - caliper mounting bracket?
Hi,
Replaced the brake shield and I'm about to tighten everything up.
Feels like the caliper mounting bracket is the last part you want to fall off, so what torque do I tighten these bolts and nuts to so I can sleep at night?
Do I apply any threadlocker ?
Thanx

My torque chart lists a 'brake anchor bolt' at 120 ft.lbs. I assume that would be the big one. The smaller ones look to be the same size as the caliper mounting bolts. The torque on those is 70 ft.lbs. Thread locker isn't required because the bend tabs will lock it in place.
