Hello out there,
can someone tell me the correct torque setting for rear caliper to strut mounting, I cant find it in my manual, of course it could be senility again!
Mine uses wire locked bolts.
Thanks

You are right the mounting bolt torques are not listed in my manual either.
I just used the standard torque for the bolt size which I think is 7/16" UNF. In which case it's 40-45 lb/ft but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

That is the correct bolt and torque.
