2003 C5 Rotor Replacement Bolts Torque Values
I assume the torques are the same for a 1998 C5. In the Forum Search I found varying values for the Caliper bolts; 23 ft lb, 25 ft lb and 27 ft lb. I sold my 1998 and passed the Service Manuals to the new owner (I've ordered the 2003 Service Manuals, will ship in 7 to 10 days.
Here is what I think is correct;
Caliper Mounting Brackets = 125 ft lb (new Grade 8 w/ a dab of red lock-tite)
Caliper Bolts = 23, 25 or 27 ft lb
Lug Nuts = 100 ft lb
Please help with the Caliper Bolts ft lb value, and any other mistakes.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Is it really necessary to replace the bracket bolts after they have been removed. I have heard both sides. Why not just clean them, add a dab of red loctite and torque them to 125lb/ft.

WOW, that's perfect. Thank you very much. I hope I can return the favor someday. I will be on the forum more often (I'm retiring in two weeks and I'll have the Service Manuals by then), and hopefully I can help others.
THANKS again.
Ron
