unless its a real critical bolt like a bearing or cylinder head i just use the tight plus a little bit more  rule. Ive had my rear brake caliper on and off loads with this rule and its always ok.  almost every bold i put back in has a little bit of lithium grease added .

I use the good and tighten method it's always worked for me ,,,, :biker3:

Just be careful tightening them up as I think the calliper is only made of ali and its very easy to strip the threads.

cheer's fella's,all cleaned up and torqued up to the correct torque,i undone all four bolt's  :oops: :no: to remove/clean the rear calliper.i was horrified to see brake fluid seeping out bet i'm not the 1st to do it.this is where a hayne's manual would have come in handy,we ain't blessed with such a thing.
