Front Brake Bolts Torque

I'm just about to replace pads and rotors on the front, but I can't find any torque specs for the brake pins or caliper mounting bolts.

Does anyone know what the torque settings should for a 2012 All4?

Thanks,

CM

for R56 the specs are:

Brake Pad Carrier to to Wheel Hub M12x1.5 110Nm or 81 ft/lb
Caliper to Brake Pad Carrier 7mm Allen 25-30Nm or 18-22 ft/lb

I would assume that R60 specs are relatively similar...

However, the 81 seems kinda high to me.. Honestly, I've have been a tech for many years and not everything needs to be torqued. Just tighten the bolts till they are pretty damn snug, and then give it a final snug. Figure this, if you use an 8-12" ratchet, it will likely provide you with enough leverage for correct torque. In other words, as long as you don't tighten the bolts with a breaker bar.....lol......you should be ok.
Turning wrenches has a learning curve if you will, that you develop a "feel" for.... Don't get me wrong, if you were tightening a cylinder head or rods, I would say to get proper torque specs, but I wouldn't worry about this.

Just replace your pads, put it all together, and tighten that $h!z up...

Good Luck. Drive Safe & Drive Often. Rubber Side Down. Over & Out.
