Torque specs (brakes)
Does anyone know what are the factory torque specs for front/rear brake brackets and for the calipers?
Thanks! |
Well, I've used the torque wrench to loose bolts, here is what I measured (front):
guide bolt: 20 lbf caliper-to-bracket bolt: 105 lbf. Will do rear later today. I think 10% should be added. |
whoa, that sounds high
try 85! (just a guess) If someone knows the factory spec or can tell us what the right number is that would be great torque to break a fastener and the torque to load on are NOT the same, beware that type of thought, can hurt you more than it can do good |
I don't know how trustworthy is this: http://www.torkspec.com/torkspecmm.aspx?KI=494
But it calls for 114 ft-lbs (17 inch type). Very similar brakes. |
Front caliper carrier is 59 lb-ft
Rear caliper bracket is 49 lb-ft Those numbers should be right if I read the schematics from the service manual correctly. You can download the FR-S shop manual here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12135 |
