    I've run into a potential problem with a pair of S13WE Tundra calipers that I plan to upgrade my little truck with.

    The calipers have been broken apart for a complete cleaning and rehab, but I am unable to locate the torque spec for bolting the caliper halves back together.

    Another issue is that the Toyota OEM rebuild kit for these calipers does not include the smaller O-rings that seal the brake fluid paths between the caliper halves; so now I'm trying to find new O-rings.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions? I have repeatedly searched for answers on this specific issue, with no results to-date.

    To resolve this question, for anyone who manages to stumble across it with a similar issue; I managed to find a caliper rebuild kit at O'Reilly auto parts that had the seals I needed.

    The caliper halves were bolted back together at 75 lb/ft.
