Anytime bud... Forgot to tell you to use blue thread lock on the caliper bolts (red on the caliper bracket bolts)... (disclaimer: GM will tell you to replace them instead)

Those manuals are a life saver....

clean those caliper bolts and bracket bolts with a wire brush prior to re-use and be sure to use the threadlocker...

In a previous post a member printed out the torque specs, laminated them and stuck them on the side of his tool box

Almost positive these are 37lbft. I changed these in the past and that's what I remember the torque was. HTH
