Thread: Brake Caliper Torque settings

There's no reference to those bolts because LR don't normally split the halves in service. Whilst there is a reference to the o-rings and the bolts themselves in EPC, there is a notation that the o-rings & bolts are not serviceable and to replace the whole caliper.

However - if you google bolt torque values, you'll find a general figure to suit.

All I can suggest is that you watch the caliper closely for leaks if you have already split the halves.

i just do them up bloody tight

They don't say anything about torque settings because you aren't supposed to seperate the halves for caliper overhaul. Just pop the pistons out carefully using compressed air and a few rags to stop the pistons hitting one another etc. Thoroughly clean and dry the caliper body paying close attention to the seal grooves, fitr new seals and dust seals and new pistons . Use rubber grease to re assemble.

Thanks all,

I tightened them to 110 Netwons, hope that should be ok.
