all right i am getting ready to replace my front pads and i have all the info i need except the torque specs for the caliper bolts...i have searched the forums but could not find what i wanted any help thanks everyone :smile:

 

Tight, but not cranked. The TIS says 30 Nm for the 7mm allen, use a 3/8" rachet and you'll be good to go. Don't forget the rubber caps over those guide bolts!

 

Here are the ones for the rear brakes, sorry don't have the front, but would be willing to bet they are same, if not then very close.

 

:smile: thanks for your help so quick....wow....what a community of mini owners....thanks again.......

 

I assume the 2AZ above is the caliper carrier bracket right? The bolts on our 06 MCC are larger on the front than the rear. Does the 65nm apply for both?

 

Help...they don't make a 06 Bentley yet. Who has one on a 02-04? What are the caliper bracket torque specs. My front bolt is larger than the rear. I'm dying to install my newly painted red calipers and EBC rotors.

 

Tighten them till they break, then back them off 1/4 turn.

 

Anybody has torque specs for front and rear caliper bracket mounting bolts on 05 Mini?

 

From my Bentley manual.

Carrier brackets...
Front 110NM (81ft-lb)
Rear 65NM (48 ft-ib)

Caliper guide bolts
25-30NM (18-22 ft-lb)

I would use blue 242 loctite on the carrier bolts.
