Torque spec

Post by Zombie Master »

1984 R100 Brembo front caliper bolts, not the mounting to fork bolts, but the caliper bolts that hold the body of the caliper together.

Can't find anything.

Snowbum:

" Brake caliper joining bolts, R80R, R100R:
Inner 22 foot-pounds, outer 7 foot-pounds."

Not sure about inner and outer refers too.


Thanx!

Snowbum has torque values for Brembo at the bottom of this page...not sure if it's what you need:

If torque figures are hard to come by it might be that the manufacturer doesn't want you to split the caliper. I know that is definitely the case for the dual piston Ate calipers on early R65's as Ate didn't publish a figure. I split them anyway and used 20ftlbs without problems.
