Did you go through the great "sticky" at the top of this forum page about weights and measures? I went throught it quickly and did not see those particular items but they may be there.

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
