Im doing my brakes soon and need to know the torque spec. Anyone know the torque spec for the brake caliper holding bolts? I know the caliper mounting bolt is 80 ft lbs but forgot the torque for the two holding bolts.

 

Here's my setup:

Front


Rear


Hawk HPS

 

54 ft/lbs

 

thats 4 rears you got there

 

54 ft lbs seems alittle off to me...I was thinking maybe around 30ft lbs.

No they are 2 front and 2 rear...not 4 rears. Fronts has 10 slots and rear has 8 slots.

 

If you are talking about the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the caliper bracket they are 36lb-ft.

 

thanks someone finally came up with the answer.

 

I have the same rotors...watch out for drag on the rears.

 

what do you mean by "drag" on the rear?

 

the pads never really come off of the rotor surface and you can hear them after I brake and even when I havent used the brakes in awhile. They dont get super hot or show excess wear, but you can still hear them as if they were still being applied.

 

sounds like you have defective rear brake calipers to me... It was one of the acura cl recall.

 

will it be covered if i did the brake upgrade myself? Will they say I damaged them?

 

Will it be covered if I did the brake upgrade myself? Will they say I damaged them? I never noticed anything with the stock rotors of course, there is no way to hear anything on a smooth stock rotor.

 

I don't think it will be covered because you used aftermarket parts which voids the warranty.

 

I can simply put the stocks back on....its just the rear rotors that have the recall correct?

 

yes you can do that.

 

PM me, I hate hijacking threads.....sorry dude!

 

it's ok...i got the answer i needed.

 

those are 4 rears dude..

 

i know what u mean shiney
i really think those are interchangable because of the 2 lil screws that hold the rotors in place

 

does 98 + 99 have the hub over rotor design like the 97s?

if they do, then these are clearly wrong

 

true true

 

No... 97 are different from 98 and 99. BTW i know these are the correct one for my 99 cl.

Besides hub over rotors design are a pain in the ass to remove. You would need an impact wrench to remove that damn hub nut, as for 98 and 99 its two simple screws that hold the rotors onto the hub.

 

simple depending on where you live...


i had to pound on mine, then sit there with a torch for 10 minutes each screw then they finally came out

 

lol... I remember sitting in front of my rotors from dusk till dawn just to drill that bastard out. Screw drivers just strip those damn screws and make it almost impossible to screw out without a drill. I got pissed so i didn't put those screws back in, works great without them and changing rotors is a peice of cake. Wish i had an impact wrench at that time.

 

you have to use a screw driver..

1. sit w/ torch for 10 minutes

2. put screw driver in the screws and then pound on the back of the screw w/ a big ass hammer

3. unscrew

if 3 doesnt work repeat again lol


god hondas a bunch of dick heads when it comes to accord brakes
