I just bought a 2013 GS350 F-Sport. Long story short, the rotors got quite a bit of tire shine over spray. Which would explain the "out of round" drum brake feeling I get between 40 to 0. I'm planning on replacing the pads, and cleaning/resurfacing the rotors.

So, the question is, what are the torque specs (front and rear) for the caliper to bracket bolts, and the bracket to knuckle bolts?

I've searched this forum, the web, and youtube, but couldn't find the torque specs.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Mods, please delete this thread. It's obviously not going anywhere.

Just hand tight them... I never done caliper bolts with torque wrench.

Do what you like with your car. As for me, I have never taken a "that will do" approach with any critical system on my cars.

I'll just figure it out on my own, as I usually do.

Just spit on them, do a twirl and that should be good. How important are brakes anyways?

awesome, it's good that you can figure out on your own.

I like it "critical systems...."

I assume you are talking about the bolts that hold the caliper to the suspension (you have to take them off to remove the rotor). I have always tightened those to 90ft/lbs AND used Loctite Blue.

Front brake caliper 17 mm bolts 78 Nm.
Front brake flexible hose 39 Nm.
Wheel nuts 19 mm at 103 Nm.

Must look at my Workshop Manual for rear caliper bolt specs...

What are the torque spec for the bolts holding the pads ? Where did you get the manual from?
