I have a 2011 Acura MDX with Tech Package and I am going to be doing the front and rear brakes and can't find the torque specs for the front caliper bolts and the rear caliper bolts, etc.

I did see lots of posts about the rotors and pads to use and have already ordered the parts just need the specs now.

I don't want to use the wrong numbers and have seen where the wheel lug bolts in older models was 80lbs and for the newer models is 94lbs. I want to be sure i have the right numbers and can't find the exploded view diagram for the brake systems.

In the 07-09 service manual:

pg 19-18 front caliper body bolts = 53 lbf-ft

pg 19-29 rear caliper body bolts = 27 lbf-ft

 

Can you verify these are still the same for 2011?

 

it is just brake caliber, i Never saw anyone checking torque spec brake caliper.
You will fine with provided numbers....

 

Besides, getting a torque wrench in behind the caliper might be a tight squeeze.
Before you try to push the caliper piston in, you should open the brake fluid reservoir lid. Wrap a rag around the reservoir, in case it over flows.

 

thanks for your feedback, I will be doing the brakes today!
