Cobby,

Welcome to CL and congrats on your first post!

Just in case no one else answers your question (I don't know the answer myself) and you're stuck with no brakes, try calling the service department at the dealer and ask a technician. They've been pretty good to me in situations similar to yours in the past - it's worth a shot.

If not, I am sure Steve Ganz can help you out! SUPRATRD is his user name, I think?

The bracket should be 87 lb-ft and the caliper should be 25 lb-ft
