    PICTURE ADDED

    I was replacing my pads and rotors on my 2019 Off Road and accidently took out the wrong bolts on the back of the caliper. I took out the 2 bolts that hold the caliper halves together.

    Does anyone know what the torque specs are on those bolts?

    I have not found an exact answer but one I saw said 90 ftlb. Is this correct?

    Thank you

    90ft-lbs sounds like a calliper to knuckle torque. I don't know the spec but I would guess somewhere in the 15-25ft-lbs range.

    Don't go crazy but i'm sure the torque isn't critical there. Just tighten it reasonably...

    Thought there might be some brake specialists here or someone that might have come across the same issue.

    Not sure if same for 3rd gen but under 2nd gen sticky's says torque spec 91 ft lbs for 4wd and pre-runner. Standard was 80 ft lbs. Check it out. It has pages from the manual.

    Sorry, Mis-read where you un-bolted caliper. Still take a read. Might find it
