2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front Brake torque numbers

[pgleavitt]

Well the front brakes on my 2000-3500 truck finally need to be replaced. Not too bad with 93,000 miles on the originals. Can anyone help me with some torque specs. I am replacing the rotors and need the specs for the dually wheel adapter and the calipers came with the whole mounting frame and not just the calipers. I guess the exaust brake may have helped to save the brakes as I use it all the time. Thanks for any help

My '01 manual has:

180 ft lbs on the axle nut.

122 ft lbs on the hub/bearing to the knuckle.

210 ft lbs on the caliper adapter to knuckle.

24 ft lbs on the front caliper slide pins.

I can't find a spec for the hub extensions, I guess I would use the 145 ft lbs that the lug nuts are at. Someone else may have a spec, I don't see it listed in the brake section,the suspension section or with wheels/tires.

Thanks for the info. I did just as you suggested and went with the same torque for the lug nuts and the adapters. Both studs are the same size.
