It says to torque the bolt from the bracket to the knuckle to 79.4 lbs/ft is that rite or am i doing something wrong? CAN ANYBODY HELP?! My brakes are flying all over the place scratching up the inside of my wheel and my caliper! I need my car!

Did you install them with locktite?

I just got it today and got it reinstalled, picked up another caliper bolt from my local Honda dealer since the Acura dealers were out, same part anyway (if anyone needs the part number for the bolt that holds the bracket mount to the knuckle it's 90107SM4000) I torqued the bolts from the caliper to the bracket to 36 lbs/ft and the bracket to the knuckle at 80 lbs/ft (supposed to be 79.6 lbs/ft but I'd rather tighten it a little bit more and round it out a little bit than for it to fall out AGAIN!). I used some thread locker this time. Wish my bolts luck.

hope you used blue thread locker, not red if you ever want to take them out again. i think you have to use heat to take them out with the red locker.

O motherfucker.... but I read somewhere that you can use thread penetrator or reapply some threadlocker and let it sit for about 10 minutes and it'll come out as if you never put it on.

that might work, personally i just use a torch and heat it up really good and it comes out for me. i have never had a problem with mine, and i even used anti-size on them and they are always torqued right, maybe your torque wrench is bad or off in its measurement, and your doing it in foot lbs, not Newton meters( too tightt), or inch pounds (too loose) right, i have to ask because it has happened before.

I'd be happier if they don't come off! If they ever do, I think I'm just gonna weld those damn bolts on and when it comes time to change pads again I'll get myself a Legend caliper upgrade and cut the fucking bolts off.
