[s-cars] caliper mounting bolt torque specs

[Sean Douglas]

Bentley says 18 ft-lbs and yes, they should have loc-tite thread locker
on it. Normally, new brake pads come with new bolts that are coated with
thread locker.

Subject: [s-cars] caliper mounting bolt torque specs


Just changed the front brake pads on my 95 S6.  Repair manual is a
little unclear with regards to torque specifications for the two caliper
mounting bolts that hold the caliper to the mounting bracket.  Does
anyone have a suggestion as to the proper torque?  Also, the bolts are
coated in a blue substance I am assuming is some sort of Loc-tite thread
locker.  Are these bolts reusable or should I get a new set?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
