Question Front and rear brake caliper bolts and guide pin torque values?

Been searching around but haven't found the torque values for the caliper guide pins and the main caliper 15mm rear and 17mm front bolts.

Anyone have those values?

You can use any bolt torque chart, I think it's valid for brand new bolts
Of course you must use thread locker on these specific bolts, some medium grade so you can undo them some day

The service manual shows 25-35nm (18-36 lb/ft) for the guide pins

'Caliper to Vertical link' (front) is shown as 120-160nm (88-118 lb/ft). That sounds pretty darn high to me. I'm sure I've never tightened mine that much. But....whatever.

'Caliper to Hub Carrier' (rear) is shown as 54-66nm (40-49 lb/ft) which sounds about right

Cheers
