From the shop manual
Rear Caliper Assembly Bolts 37- 3.8- 27
Rear Caliper Mounting Bolts 25- 2.5 -18
Figures are N.M, kgf.M and ft/lb
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.

:yes: Correctamundo. ..this has happened before (not me I hasten to add ) :smiley:
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.
