After replacing a leaking brake caliper piston seal, I'm wondering if anyone happens to know the torque value for the four bolts that hold both sides of the caliper together.
Is it more or less than Super F----ing Tight?

I searched through the FSM, but can't seem to find it...
Cheers

 

I couldn't find a torque spec when I rebuilt my calipers.

I recall that I found a general torque guide and used the max spec for that metric bolt size and hardness. It was super-tight.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

 

Thanks for the reply.
I'll check it out.

Cheers

 

Best I can figure is Toyota never intended for the brake calipers to be split in two. They don't show breaking down the caliper that far in the FSM, and the OEM caliper o/h gasket kits doesn't include the O-rings needed if you do. I just used the universal torque chart in the manual to set those bolts.

 

Yea, there are torque value listings in the FSM based on bolt size (8mm? probably).

I just used my judgement. it's a fairly small bolt, with a nice machined surface. I'm guessing it was 40 ft/lbs or so.

I just used Orings out of a set to reseal them. Even though I'm fairly sure the originals were quad rings.
