Re: Girling G60 brake torque values?

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

Hi Steve;

    Girling G60 double piston front calipers:
    Carrier bolts 125 Nm (92 ft.lbs)
    Guide pins 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs)

    Single piston calipers used lower torque settings. It is a good idea to
check the conversion from metric to imperial torque settings - I have found
some of the Bentley conversions to be in error. I take the metric data as
accurate.
