Torque spec for the rear caliper bolts - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

A bit urgent.

Does anyone know the torque value for the rear caliper bolts for Camry Wagon? It is a 12mm size. There is only one for each caliper, right?

Can anyone also verify if the torque value for the front caliper bolts for Camry Wagon is 25 ft-lb?

Thanks!

Do you mean the two bolts (per caliper) that mount the caliper to the suspension? If so spec calls for 14 ft/lbs, although I've never used a torque wrench on the calipers, just gotten to know what feels right. Helps if you use anti-seize to make next tear down easier.

The bolts mount the caliper to the suspension is torque plate. I remember it is something 75 ft-lb.

I meant the installation bolt for the brake pads. 14 ft-lbs is out of the range of my torque wrench ... Wondering if I should buy another torque wrench now...

Yes, torque plate - front = 79 ft/lbs, rear = 34 ft/lbs

You mean slide pin bolt. 20 ft/lbs

just tighten it good, you'll be fine, it's a brake after all.

** Edit: After thinking about torque spec for torque plate I thought it seemed low. Haynes says 34 ft/lbs. Re-checked FSM and found proper torque at rear page of rear brake - FSM is not too clear on this.
