Torque specs for Caliper halves bolts

Deqos

Yeah I saw that, but Idk the grade of the bolt and since rusty said that Nissan sometimes doesn’t put the markings for the grade I’ll never be able to guess it lol. Plus the link he sent and that thread and the one on this one give different torque numbers. Rusty since you’ve done it before do you remember how much torque you put on them ?

Found my notes. The 10mm was 40 ftlbs, and the 12 was 70 ftlbs. The heads have no markings on them to tell what they are. So I went with a spec in the middle. When you reassemble the halves. Take a honing stone with oil and stone the mating surfaces of each half. This will remove any high spots. The o-ring in between the halves. Make sure you put brake assemble lube or brake fluid on it before bolting the halves together.

I wish I could give you endless rep !! Thank you so so much rusty! Alright I’ll look up how to do all that and go buy the stone, I read on another thread that you said to use some blue liquid, I’ll find it again and use that to see the high and low spots.

Rusty

The liquid is Hi-Spot Paste. Put a little bit on a folded paper towel and spread on one half. You need a very fine film on it. Bolt the halves together and torque to spec. Un bolt and look at the half that you didn't coat. You should see the transfer of the paste. 100% is great. But don't think you will get that. Long as you have full transfer around the o-ring. You will be good.

If you get the paste on your fingers. GOOD LUCK on getting it off.

The stone to get is one of those knife sharping stones that is about 2" wide and about 6" long. Spray it and the half with WD40. And work back and forth. Keeping everything wet. Any high spots in the metal will look like bright shiny areas. If you have any. Keep stoning. But be careful on the edges. You don't want to round off the edges. Keep the stone flat at all times. It's an art.

Man I’m a terrible artist but good thing there’s YouTube nowadays 😂. Okay I get what you mean, I’m confident in doing it myself now with all the information you’ve given! If I have any problems I’ll shoot you a dm if you don’t mind haha. Thanks again for all the info and help !

Rusty

You may have to stone, clean, bolt together, stone, clean, bolt together a couple of times. On mine, I got about 75% contact all over. Around the o-ring hole, It was 100%.
