Hi, new to the forum, but had a question I was hoping to find an answer to.
I was trying to find out the Torque Specs (ft lbs) for the brake caliper and caliper bracket bolts on the front and rear of my 2014 Scion tC.
Google seems to take me down a rabbit hole of older models, and misinformation.

Thanks!

I've never once torqued brakes (or even heard of anyone torquing theirs)... and never once have I had a problem (probably a good 40 brake jobs on various vehicles) due to a torque spec. I'm sure there are specs but the 'tight is right' philosophy seems to work great for them.

If you really need to know, I'd give the dealer a call and see what they say. They should be able to pull that info up, but I doubt they torque them to spec either lol.

 

I managed to get the specs online for a 2015, so I am going to assume they are the same for 2011-2015 gen 2 cars and go with that. I just didn't want to break off a bolt over tightening.

If anyone needs the info:

From the repair manual for a 2015:

Rear caliper mount 42ftlbs
Rear cylinder assembly 25ftlbs

Front caliper mount 79ftlbs
Front cylinder assembly 25ftlbs

 

Are the front and Rear cylinder assemblies the slider pins?
