I know you already got your answer, but thought I'd post a link to a full listing of torque values for you. I keep it as a 'favorite' and seem to use it more than any other corvette related link.

Those caliper bracket mounting bolts aren't supposed to be reused. The dealer has new ones,and they come with some kind of threadlocker on them. An air or electric wrench will save you a hernia when you remove the old ones.
