Anyone know the front and rear Torque specs for the caliper bolts and bracket bolts? 2018 Camry LE US made.

Necro thread... but to help future searchers... from Paul's website, here are the specs for FRONT:
My question - anyone have the specs on REAR w EPB? From parts fiche, the rear caliper brackets have different part numbers than the non-EPB rear caliper brackets
Rear brakes torque specs on V6 with electronic parking brake ?
From looking at older Camry model and Avalon specs, it seems the rear caliper bracket is typically less torque than front.
Anyone have a service manual on this with the specs? I'm not opposed to buying a day on TIS to confirm but figured I would check first. I've dug through all the threads I can find on here, and online in general, and have yet to see someone confirm V6 rear brakes w EPB torque specs. I suspect they would be similar to non-EPB, but I surely don't want to over-torque and bust a bolt or under-torque and perhaps lose a bolt on the road!
- Front caliper bracket bolts - 79 ft/lbs
- Front sliding pin bolts - 25 ft/lbs
- Should be the same for both North American made 4cyl and Non-TRD V6 as the front brake parts are the same per online parts fiche
My question - anyone have the specs on REAR w EPB? From parts fiche, the rear caliper brackets have different part numbers than the non-EPB rear caliper brackets
Rear brakes torque specs on V6 with electronic parking brake ?
- Caliper brackets - ??? (paul does not have this noted at all in his guide)
- Sliding pin bolts - ??? (paul has noted 25 ft/lbs for non-EPB rear)

Update
Signed up for TIS.
Confirmed both FRONT & REAR for 2018 V6 w EPB are 79 ft/lbs for the caliper bracket bolts, and 25 ft/lbs for the sliding pin bolts.
Same spec front and rear.

I'm somewhat confused. The reply to the tread above I started takes me to specs for 2002-2006? I have an 2018 Camry LE 2.5 liter VIN starting with a 4. So guess it was made in Kentucky? Are the torque specs for the rear caliper bracket mounting bolts the same 79 ft lbs? Rear slide pin bolts 25 ft lbs?
Have another general question? When you change your brake pads and hardware do you grease the hardware where the ears of the brake pads sit? I have done this in the past, greased the contact surface where the ears fit into the sliding tracks of the hardware, but I'm now reading that many no longer do this as it really isn't a best practice as over time water will wash out grease/silicone paste and the grease/paste can collect dirt and they won't slide as well? So best not to lubricate the hardware tracks where the ears sit. Your thoughts? Sounds logical to me?
Good God why did they use a stupid design for the caliper pins........other cars have a stop so the pin on the inside wont spin when you remove the bolt but not camry has some wacky design decisions........now I have to go hunting for a stupid "Skinny" 17mm wrench as nothing I have worked to hold that inside bold in place........
Also, the damm rotors are rusted shut man, again my Odyssey or Genesis or even the old Camry/Corolla never had that problem. Penetrant dint do much, lucky was able to find a bolt that fit to push them off but man is this a bad quality issue? esp since all 4 brakes (Fronts and rears) are gone at 55k miles and this isnt a heavy car either......
