Subject:Brake Caliper Torque - 200 ft/lbs??
From:JRodgers
Date:Tue, 2 Apr 2013 16:19:25 -0500

Just finished up installing new front wheel bearings and noted that
Bentley calls for 200 ft/lbs of torque on the caliper bolts.  I have
found one that goes to 180 and the rest go to 150. How the devil do you
get that torque value??

I'm working on the ground, so long cheater bars are out. Just not enough
room for that much moment-arm.

Where brakes are concerned - I want it right.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

John
