What is the torque on the brake calipers on a 2008 Toyota Corolla?
Install the caliper bracket and torque the bolts to 106.8 n/m or 79 ft/lbs.
Do you need a torque wrench for brake calipers?
Originally Answered: Do you need a torque wrench for brakes and rotors? The correct answer is YES you do, that said for most of my life I never used a torque wrench and never had an over-torque or under torqued failure. (do all my own brakes, suspension etc).
How tight do brake caliper bolts need to be?
These require tightening to 80 plus lbs ft or in general, as tight as you can get them with a 1/2 inch socket set ratchet. The bolts you are referring to are either the smaller ones you often get a set of with new brake pads and are sometimes pre-coated with locktite, or require locktite when being fitted.
Do you need to torque caliper pins?
Yes you do. The caliper bracket bolts many times are torqued to ABOUT 90 ftlp while the guide pins are much less about 45 or so.
Should you torque brake calipers?
In any event the answer is “yes” provided you tighten them down enough so they will not work loose and your mechanic is only a couple of miles away. Do brake caliper bolts need to be torqued? It would be a good idea – calipers serve a very important function and you don’t want them coming loose.
What is the torque for disc brake caliper mount?
required position and then tighten the two caliper fixing bolts alternately by small amounts each time. Tightening torque: 6 – 8 N·m {53 – 69 in. lbs.} or three clicks.
What is the torque on a 2004 Toyota Corolla brake caliper?
The brake calipers on a Toyota Corolla should be torqued to 34 ft-lbs. Caliper bracket bolts should be torqued also. Loss of torque in caliper bolts can lead to catastrophic failure of the system. A torque wrench is a must-have when tightening calipers.
What is the torque spec for brake caliper bolts?
Brake caliper bracket bolts connect the caliper bracket to the spindle or knuckle, never seen one with any kind of sleeve. Usually torqued to 80+ ft lbs, big bolts that usually use a 20+mm or 5/8 or larger socket.
Can you over tighten caliper bolts?
Caliper bracket bolts are built to withstand wrench monkeys using an impact gun. A 10% over-torque should be the least of your worries.
Are caliper bolts supposed to be tight?
This bolt out which is silly. If you think about it from a mechanical standpoint all this does is make this move in and out.
