Torque specs on rotors/caliper? - Honda Prelude Forum

Anyone with a Helm's, what are the torque spec for the two bolts that hold the front calipers on and the screws that hold the front rotors on? Any input would be appreciated.

I just got a pair of Brembo OEM replacement blanks and I want to make sure to torque them on right to prevent warping and uneven wear, as I am selling my baby this spring. I want everything to be in tip-top shape. Thanks a lot.

P.S.: For anyone doing there brakes/rotors anytime soon, Brembo blanks are actually cheaper than stock rotors, while providing a more strong and durable replacement!!!!

Two parts: The caliper body is the part that swings up when you do a pad change, the two bolts that hold that to the BRACKET are 36 lb-ft. The bolts that hold the bracket on are 80 lb-ft. As for the rotors, you got me.

thr rotors are held on by the wheel lugs....which are 80 lb-ft

yeah, but there are those screws to in the center, aren't there? As far as I know though, the only torque specs you need to be worried about are the ones already mentioned.

Alright, thanks a lot guys. Yeah. I wasn't really sure about the screws that hold the rotors on, since the wheel lugs obviously hold them on too as Joel said. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

The screws are part of the rotor

Yeah, I know, I meant to say the screws that hole the rotor together. I know they dont actually hold the rotor on to the car. Thanks for the clarification though.

One other thing, does anyone know what size bolt fits into the rotor holes to break apart the rotor? I know my rotors are going to be rusted together, so I'd like to know now before I actually go and do it. Thanks.
