Rear Brake Calipers

need4speed · 04-08-2012, 04:23 PM

Does anybody know the tightening torque for the Rear Caliper retaining bolts (2x7mm Allen Bolts)?

Cheers,
Grant

States 30 - 35 Nm as I read it here (although that seems a bit odd). But have a look yourself, part 3AZ on the torque list, same as front guide bolts.

It also list it here as part 5AZ in with the rest of the specs for the rear caliper, again just the same.

are you getting the front and rear turret strengthening done at the same time?

Don't think so just suspension fitted and general check over + new sensor as ive had no TC for the past few months
