The torque specifications for the calipers of a Honda Element vary depending on the specific component. Here are the torque specs for the caliper bolts and brackets:
– The caliper guide pin bolts have a torque spec of 25 ft/lbs.
– The caliper brackets have a torque spec of 80 ft/lbs.
It’s important to ensure that the caliper pins are installed correctly, as the upper caliper pin and lower caliper pin are different.
Please note that these torque specifications are specific to the Honda Element and may not apply to other Honda models. It’s always recommended to consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual or a trusted source for the most accurate and up-to-date torque specifications.

Do I need to put loctite on caliper bolts?
Generally threadlocker is not called for on caliper bracket bolts as the proper torque will hold them securely.
What is the recommended torque for brake caliper?
The front brake caliper bracket should be tightened to 70 ft/lbs and the rear should tightened 85 ft/lbs. The caliper bolts have a torque spec of 44 ft/lbs and 23 ft/lbs in the rear. No locktite required. What is the torque for the Banjo bolt?
What are the symptoms of loose caliper bolts?
Typical symptoms to watch out for include brake fluid leaks, a soft brake pedal, and clunky noises. Uneven wear on brake pads can also indicate a caliper bolt issue.
Do brake caliper bolts need lock tight?
The caliper bolts & guide pin mounting screws need to have the medium strength (blue) loctite applied to the threads !
Do you need to torque down caliper bolts?
As for the caliper, it’s also good technique to use a torque wrench. The main reason is so you don’t over-tighten then, which might strip out the housing the bolt goes into, or ruin the mounting bolt in the first place.
Do you need to torque caliper bolts?
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.
What is the torque spec of the calipers on a Honda Element?
The caliper brackets have a torque spec of 80 ft/lbs.
How tight should caliper bolts be?
The caliper retaining bolts are the big ones that hold the main body of the caliper to the hub assembly. They are quite big, often 15–19mm bolts and take a fair effort to crack them off. 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.
What is the torque of the brakes?
Brake torque is essentially the power of the braking system. The brake caliper acts on the disc at a certain distance from the hub center, known as the effective radius. The force exerted by the caliper, multiplied by the effective radius of the system equals the brake torque.
What is the torque for brake caliper mount?
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.
