Brake torque settings
Anyone have torque settings for the brake caliper bolts as well as the bolts that hold the front pads in place, and the center one with the 10 point bolt? Do these need blue locktite? Any help much appreciated.

I have been looking for the same information and ran across this single post!
I'm hoping that someone has the above torque specifications for Z51 front and rear brakes plus the bleeder valve torque specs? Yes, I do actually use a torque wrench on my bleeder valves. Over-torqueing one taught me a lesson.
As the OP stated, any help would be much appreciated.

Very helpful info here thanks for sharing it. I just replaced my rotors at home and was wondering how the hell to torque those rear bolts to 155 without a lift. I'm not too worried about 70s torque by hand but correct me if I'm wrong!

In my How To PDF Big Lebowski shows how he achieved 155 ft-lbs without a lift using jack and jack stands! There are torque wrench with pivoting head BUT he got by without: netwelding.com/Ceramic_Pads.pdf
