Front Brake Caliper Bolt Torque Spec
#16
There's no shear force on these bolts as far as I know, which causes me to wonder why they would need replacement. At only 100 lbs/ft of torque, how much stretching is there?
Why don't Wheel lug bolts call for replacement? I looked up several other car forums on this and only BMW and a few others mention replacement and the remainder did not require it.

There are some bolts on the car you just don't re-use (like Flywheel and head bolts) if the service manual says not to especially for critical bolts there is no in between. When I owned the BMW and did a water pump replacement it called for replacement of all the aluminum bolts because that is how they designed them.
I have looked though Toyota service manuals for brake replacement in the past for other cars and noted nothing about not reusing the caliper bolts. If Toyota calls for replacement of the LS460 caliper bolts I'm going to do just that when the time comes because when it comes to brakes I don't want to find out that it wasn't a waste of money.
That red substance is not lock tight red strength and just the fact that it's included on the bolt is even more evidence that there is a good reason why the need to be replaced with new bolts.
