Ok I located some info and it said anywhere from 80-100lbs so I did 100
It was probably close to 110 and a bit of a PITA to loosen but it is all good now.

I just wanted to verify some info...do I really only need to have 11lbs of torque on the bolts mounting my front calipers? It just sounds low to me. Thanks, Xod |

Are you talking about the actual caliper bolts(takes a 12mm wrench) or the caliper mount bolts(takes a 21mm wrench)? If it's the small bolts they would snap before you reach 100lbs-ft of torque. |

I copied this from the service manual. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION - FRONT (1) Install caliper to the caliper adapter. (2) Coat the caliper mounting slide pin bolts with silicone grease. Begin with the bolt closet to the bleeder screws (top), Then install and tighten the bolts to 15 N·m (11 ft. lbs.). (3) Install the brake hose banjo bolt if removed. (4) Install the brake hose to the caliper with new seal washers and tighten fitting bolt to 31 N·m (23 ft. lbs.). CAUTION: Verify brake hose is not twisted or kinked before tightening fitting bolt. (5) Remove the prop rod from the vehicle. (6) Bleed the base brake system,(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) OR (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE). (7) Install the wheel and tire assemblies (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/WHEELS - STANDARD PROCEDURE). (8) Remove the supports and lower the vehicle. |

TJKJ yeap you are right I am talking about the 21mm bolts. |
