275ft./lbs. with a 3/8? Magic.

I had to look it up but it's real, 275 for the bracket bolts.

The heavy-duty front brake caliper bracket has a torque specification of 275 ft./lbs. The rear caliper bracket for the heavy-duty caliper has a torque specification of 163 ft/lbs for the upper bolt and 190 ft/lbs for the lower bolt. Both versions have a torque specification of 32 ft./lbs. for the guide pins.

It was 260 for an ‘05 on Alldata. He didn’t state what year. I thought that seemed awful high so I didn’t post it last night.

I was gonna say it needs more than a 3/8… I’ve seen those come loose and it’s not fun.
