Caliper Bolt Torque specs
Did a search on this and it appears there are some conflicting values for bolt torque specs.
Can somebody chime in with the correct torque specs for front and rear calipers for my '87?? Got to get ready for autocross season with new calipers, hoses and pads. :steering:

:cheers:
On my 88, the torgue for the two large bolts holding the front caliper brackets is 137 ftlbs and they recomend loctiite or other adhesive.
For the rear, it like 37 to 40

Re: Caliper Bolt Torque specs (c4cruiser)
According to my 87 Helms:
Front- caliper bolts=22-25 lb-ft, caliber mounting bracket bolts=133 lb-ft
rear- caliper bolts=22-25 lb-ft, caliber mounting bracket bolts=70 lb-ft
Have fun getting a torque wrench on the rears, crows foot would help but I don't remember the formula for the change in torque value.
