Default Need bolt torque info

I was removing my calipers and accidentally removed this bolt instead of the caliper bolt:



It's behind the front calipers

Anybody know (or can look up from official resources) the torque this bolt needs to be set at?

Thanks for your help!

OK so online conversion says 69 Nm equals 51 ft-lbs... Wow pretty tight.

Thanks isfvss for the info!

You would be very wise to loosen all four and retighten them in steps. These bolts hold the hubs onto the knuckle. If the bolts are not evenly loaded, it could cause issues. They are ideally tightened in a cross pattern and final checked out of pattern.

I would NOT loosen the 3 other bolts if you accidently took 1 bolt out put the bolt back and torque, and check the 3 for torque job done. 69Nm is not a lot of pressure. Check rear axle nuts on some cars I have had a 4ft breaker bar and struggled but always got them ( bloody 4wd).

The hub won't be square with the knuckle if you don't. Your choice.
