Rear Blue Brembo Brake Caliper Bolt Torque?

BMWILUVU · 10-25-2019, 05:11 PM

I can't find the torque information anywhere for the rear blue brembo caliper bolts. The fronts are 82 ft-lbs, the rears are nowhere mentioned. Anyone?

NewTIS has that spec missing (as you've noticed), but the rear bolts have the same M12x1.5 thread as the front ones, so I typically just torque the rear bolts to the same spec as the front.

Are they the same? The fronts are 18mm whereas the rears are 16mm. They are on tight or rusted in, in fact tighter than the fronts. I could not break them free and will try tomorrow again.

The bolt heads are different, but the threads are the same (M12x1.5).
