Brakes Torque Specs
Hi everyone.
I am doing my brakes on the 4 corners. I decided to paint my calipers, so I took them off.
I am in the process of reinstalling the rears and I need to clarify something.
I have the Factory Service Manual and -based on what I understand- these should be the torque specs for the respective bolts:
2 Bolts that hold the caliper assembly onto the bracket: 34-39
Banjo brake fitting bolt: 15-21.
These values are beside the bolts on the factory service manual, between {...}
I am confused with exactly which value of the two, assuming I got the right numbers.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Giovanni

My manual shows:
The two long bolts with threads only near the head which hold the calipers to the brackets: 47-62 ft lbs.
The two normal bolts that hold the brackets to the hubs: 34-39 ft lbs.
Each torque value set of three is in this order from left to right:
N-m = newton meter
kgf-m = kilogram force meter
ft.lb = foot pound
These are shown earlier in the manual.
Each is shown as a range from minimum to maximum. I use the middle point otherwise know as the average. Now if a fastener has been partial stripped or damaged, I would use the lowest value.
