Hi,
Does anybody out there know what the correct torque should be please? Change of pads quite urgent but waiting for correct info before diving in.
Many thanks,
John. :? :? :?

Not insanely tight though !
It IS possible to snap the bolts using a torque bar :?

The caliper is roughly exposed to the same forces as on the Xantia caliper, so the same torque settings can be applied no problem :
105Nm / 77lbfft
Thats BTW only some 20% more than the road wheel bolts (which are 90Nm).

3.1 kg metres approx 22 to 23 Lb/Ft for the sliding bolts
12 Kg M approx 87LbFt for the caliper attachment bolts onto the hub
