Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the calliper bolts and calliper mounting bolts?

Thanks.

They are to be torqued to German specs, Good-en-tight Certain things are very important to know torque specs on, like anything internally on an engine, anything aluminum, or lug nuts. Others you can use your best judgment on it if you know your way around a wrench, meaning you know what it feels like when the bolt is starting to stretch. I have worked in Honda dealerships for over 10 years and I have never seen any technician torque a brake caliper bracket or slide bolt in my life.

I usually take my Ingersoll Rand 3/8 and hit it till it stops. Then i give it another "blurp." LOL i know that this did not help at all. I can look this up for you at work tomorrow if you want. PM me your VIN so i can accurately access the specs for your exact car. It takes seconds for me to access this info being stuck at a honda dealer all day long.

i just swabbed some anti seize on my caliper and bracket bolts when i removed the rotors to sand them down. tightened them up and gave the ratchet a few slaps to make sure they were good and snug. works for me lol.

Okay, im sorry i took so long to get back to you.

Front and rear caliper brackets are both 80 lbs ft.

Front caliper bolts are 16

Rear caliper bolts are 17

the just in case cause it makes me feel better 20 for the calipers lol. It would be peace of mind for me personally. that is if i were to actually torque them. by these numbers im sure i over-torque all of the calipers i removed. However i have never had any issues.

Thank you very much.

Is there a manual or a site that lists all the torque specs for the Accord?

 

[crmplex]

you are very welcome my friend

Hi crmplex!

The torque you mention below:
Front and rear caliper brackets are both 80 lbs ft.
Front caliper bolts are 16
Rear caliper bolts are 17

Is this same for 2012 honda crv EX-L?

thanks.

The torque specs shown in the table of hey_mikey's post dated 04-30-2014, 07:20 PM are the correct ones.

To figure out if you have Nissin of Akebono calipers you need to look at the caliper part number for your car :
1) Nissin : 45018-T2G-020 / 45019-T2G-020
2) Akebono : 45018-T2F-A00 / 45019-T2F-A00

Anyone has the same torque table for the rear brakes?

Thanks.

Next time you have a big problem removing a bolt (rounding the head or snapping it off) it just may be because the last guy to tighten that bolt didn't care what the torque value was, and just tightened it as much as he could. Sure, an experienced mechanic can get to a point where he can look at a bolt, guess the torque, and feel how tight it should be, but I don't trust that type of mechanic. Some mechanics just don't care, and will tighten everything with an impact gun. I torque my bolts so I will not have issues removing them next time.

Nissin Calipers also have "Nissin" stamped on the caliper.

2016 Acoord EXL coupe. Does anyone know the torque specs? Thanks.

Just snug bud. No need to muscle it in. Just get it snug and you’re good to go.

Thanks.

80 lbft on the bracket bolts and 37 on the sliding pin bolts.

I will prob use a torque wrench for the bracket bolts. Usually when I open the sliding pin bolts to check brake pads I just snug them back by hand. I'm not that experienced as a wrencher so not sure how close I am getting to 37, but I figure my arm can generate 37 pounds of force

This is a tight space to work. Does anyone have recommendations for a compact torque wrench? My 18" might be a bit cumbersome. Up until now, the only thing I've used the wrench for are lug nuts, but all my life I've only hand tightened bolts with >99% success rate (no broken plugs or lugs, and no losses). the only time hand tightening has failed me was with one of my valve cover bolts on my 1989 Civic, which i was able to replace as a 18 year old with no "good" tools.

On the 8G I believe you can hit all of the brake hardware with extensions and regular 3/8" torque wrench. I added a flex head 3/8 torque wrench to my box a year ago and it has helped significantly though making it so I don't have to "Find" a position the torque wrench fits.

(Flex heads max out at 75 ft-lbs though so they won't work on lug nuts, unfortunately)

One trick I learned on my Odyssey brake job which works for the fronts at least is to turn the wheel all the way to the outside - then the whole caliper assembly is angling out and you can get any length torque wrench on it (or breaker bar to loosen them at the start). Obviously doesn't work on the rears since those don't turn, but the rear assembly is smaller and the torque specs are lower. I think I still was able to fit in a 3/8 torque wrench in the wheel well there, on the Odyssey. Haven't taken off the caliper bracket on the rear of my Accord yet but may be doing so soon so I can file it down and make sure the pads are nice and free

Thanks.

and those pictures are just for the fronts

I think the rear is lower torque on the caliper brackets

There is another thread on here where the guy said they were both 80, but then he only showed the picture for the fronts. I would like to confirm on the rears as on my Odyssey they are significantly lower (smaller caliper and caliper bracket)


EDIT: It appears that rear caliper bracket torque is 41? Is this right?

Rear bracket is is 80lbft accord to Honda. Rear caliper bolts are 17lbft, so I'd tighten those by hand.
