Title: Caliper bridge bolt torque value?
Post by: Waiex191 on June 06, 2020, 11:52:20 AM

All,
I split my calipers for a rebuild and my service manual doesn't have torque values for the bridge bolts. These are the 4 allens that hold the caliper halves together. Anybody have a value?

Thanks!

This for general use.

Thanks for the table. Would there be any concerns about the aluminum threads that bolt goes into at those torque values?

No more than the concern on the torque of the caliper mounting bolts in the aluminum threads of the fork.

But, a friend of mine did manage to strip the threads of the caliper bridge bolts while using a torque wrench.

Personally, I'd torque them by hand knowing they're screwing into aluminum

I settled on 20NM. We will see how it turns out!
